Lovely Lake Tahoe!  It has been described as the “gem of the Sierras” and it’s hard to argue with that.<\/p>\n

Its statistics are impressive.  Lake Tahoe is situated in the Sierra Nevada mountain range at 6,225 ft (1,897 m) and straddles the California\/Nevada border.  At 1,645 ft (501 m) deep, it is the second deepest lake in the United States  — only Crater Lake in Oregon is deeper at 1,945 ft (593 m).  It holds more water than any lake in the US, excluding the five Great Lakes.<\/p>\n

And the scenery is spectacular.  As are the hiking opportunities around the lake!<\/p>\n
