Pictures from Tahoe: Monday and Tuesday

This is our first glimpse of Lake Tahoe, taken from Tahoe City, CA last Monday:

This is the view from our room in The Resort at Squaw Creek in the mountains halfway between Truckee and Tahoe City:

Squaw Valley

I took this on Tuesday morning when the sun was trying to come out, but only really made it to the upper slopes. The rest of the day was overcast and drizzly, but still beautiful.

This is from a waterfall leading into Emerald Bay on the southwestern shore of the lake:

The island – Fannette Island – is the only island in Lake Tahoe.

We didn’t stay long at Emerald Bay because rain was coming in and thunder was booming down from the mountains, so we spent most of the rest of Tuesday relaxing, playing cards and watching the clouds crash into the mountains and then billow down the slopes of the valley.

    Nice pix of Tahoe. My husband’s family had a house at Incline, and his brother and his extended families have 2nd homes on the west shore. A gorgeous place. We go several times in the summer and winter, and we’re in the process of buying our own vacation home there too. The lake is that beautiful.
