Lake Tahoe is just a short drive from where we’re staying in Minden, NV so we took a day and drove over to the lake and then drove around it.  It’s a beautiful lake surrounded by pine and fir trees.  There are a few beaches but most of the coastline is steep and rocky and a lot of people who live near the lake where it’s rocky have built private piers.

We took a few pictures, but it was an overcast day so a lot of the colors of the lake, especially around Emerald Bay, didn’t come out real clear.  But, it was a nice drive and great time for all of us!

From Hiway 50 which we took, there’s a tunnel right on the coast and when we stopped at a nearby vista point we saw the huge rock that the tunnel was carved through.  In the picture I took I put arrows next to the tunnels.
