Lake Tahoe Trip Summary

Image
Great trip to Lake Tahoe in the summer!  We only hiked and biked, but water sports are also prevalent with SUP, kayak, sailing and powerboat options.  118 miles of hiking, ~ 75 miles biking, and 725 miles driving over 14 days!  Our apartment in Dollar Point was ideal, with lots of hiking and biking right out the front door.
