The end of our first night backpacking in desolation wilderness, breathtaking view of the sunset.#hiking #sunset
The shimmering, jewel hued waters of the aptly named Emerald Bay was a sight for sore eyes. By far the best view in Lake Tahoe! My only regret was not packing my swimsuit.. or a decent pair of walking shoes to hike down to Vikingsholm.

[August '14]
Hike the Eagle Lake trail! If hiking in winter, I recommend Goretex boots, water resistant pants, trekking poles, snacks and optimism. The views are incredible and completely worth "power sliding" through the snow ;) Snow shoes would have been a great addition too.

The worst parts of this property was the parking lot issues and they staff's attention to the issue. The parking "cards" seldom worked and, although they were "re-scanned" by staff 5 times during our 2 day stay, it was a true "hit-and-miss adventure. Staff was very aggressive with her attitude towards ...
