Lake Tahoe Trip Summary

Image
Winter paradise at Lake Tahoe.  We stayed in Incline Village, NV and spent time in CA and NV.  41 miles of hiking, snowshoeing and cross country skiing plus a half-day downhill at Mt. Rose/Slide Mtn.  Beautiful weather and we arrived two weeks after an epic 6' snowstorm! Even had a trip down to the edge of the Central Valley for a warm weather hike.
