Lake Tahoe, California

Today we drove south to Lake Tahoe.  We drove around the entire lake starting down the east side and then after having lunch in South Lake Tahoe, Ca. we went up the west side of the lake.  Traveling up the west side is where we found the most beautiful part of the entire lake, in our opinion, which is called Emerald Bay.  The water there is a green blue and is very beautiful.  The lake is actually split between California and Nevada with about two thirds of the lake being in California and one third in Nevada.  The lake is very large measuring 22 miles long and 12 miles wide.  The biggest thing that enhances the beauty of the lake in my opinion is the mountains that surround it. After going around the lake we stopped at Truckee, Ca for some refreshments before heading back to Reno.
