Things To Do in Lake Tahoe

Welcome to Lake Tahoe, the second deepest lake in the US and the largest alpine lake in North America! Located in both California and Nevada, this pristine lake is home to crystal clear and vibrant blue waters, beautiful beaches, endless hiking trails, amazing bike paths, delicious local eats, and so much more!

We first visited Lake Tahoe back in October 2019, shortly after hitting the road in our van. But it was a very tough and overwhelming period of life between adjusting to life on the road, working a full time corporate job, and trying to run this business full time. So our time in the area didn’t really go as planned. Coming back here felt like a redemption and a chance to make some happier memories. And that is exactly what we did!

Here’s what we got up to during our 4 days in the area! ⬇️
🛶 Kayaked to Fannette Island at Emerald Bay State Park
🥪 Enjoyed some delicious sandwiches and smoothies from sproutcafetahoe
🌅 Swam and watched the sunset at Nevada Beach
🌲 Hiked up Maggies Peaks, which has sweeping views of South Lake Tahoe
🌊 Had the BEST afternoon relaxing and swimming at the stunning Fallen Leaf Lake
🐻 Saw lots of bears!!!
🚴🏼 Biked the East Shore Trail and found a magical, quiet cove to swim in
🇲🇽 Enjoyed a Mexican feast at Kings Beach
🐵 Hiked to Monkey Rock for sunset...and saw a surprise rock as well 🍑
☕ Explored Truckee, which is our favorite town in the area. The coffee at darkhorsecoffee is awesome!
🚂 Walked through the dark and kind of creepy Donner Tunnels
🍦 Had delicious ice cream from littletruckeeicecreamery
🐟 Enjoyed poke from bluefishtahoecity, with a view of the water

To learn more, check out today’s video! 🎥 We also have a Lake Tahoe itinerary on our website, full of our favorite spots and tips from both visits to the area!

The landscape is so beautiful. Trying to capture it all on film for the first time was difficult to say the least. 35mm 400 Kodak Film

The Konica FT1 does have an exposure meter but still getting used to lots of nuances with the second hand camera
