Lake Tahoe is home to the largest alpine lake in North America. It is a highly visited location throughout the year, with seasonal activities at all times.
Many claim it’s the snowcapped peaks and pristine blue water that draw in the boaters, campers and hikers; however, others prefer the relaxation offered by the nearby luxurious ski lodges.
Regardless of why you may be planning a Lake Tahoe vacation, you will find there are countless activities to enjoy during your visit.
Learn about the top five here.
1. Lower Eagle Falls
Situated just above Emerald Bay, these falls are right out of a magazine. The hike to the top is leisurely, ensuring you don’t have to overly exert yourself.
This makes it a great experience, even for those new to hiking and kids.
If you plan a trip up to the falls, make sure to wear proper walking shoes, as the path near the water can become slippery.
Upon reaching the top, you will be completely surrounded by the natural beauty of the falls. This is a hike worth taking during your Lake Tahoe vacation.
2. Desolation Wilderness
Made up of almost 64,000 acres of sub-alpine and alpine forests, in addition to valleys, peaks, and lakes formed by glaciers, this is another must-visit destination.
You can only travel in this area by horseback or by foot. You are expected to leave no trace you were ever there when you leave.
3. Visit the Hellman-Ehrman Mansion
Built in 1903, this mansion offers visitors an interesting look at the life of the affluent who lived on Lake Tahoe.
This house was home to endless parties and black-tie events during its heyday, and its personality and charm still shine through today. You can tour the main house, and servant areas and the entire tour lasts about 60 minutes.
While Lake Tahoe real estate has changed somewhat over the years, you can still find picturesque properties for sale in the area. If you are interested in buying, consider speaking with an agent from Coldwell Banker North Lake Tahoe.
4. Heli-Vertex
If you have an adventurous spirit, then the Heli-Vertex is right up your alley. This experience allows you to get a scenic view of Lake Tahoe.
The tours available can accommodate groups ranging in size from three people to six, and you will fly over the area in luxury, thanks to leather seats and noise reduction headsets.
Additionally, your pilot will know the area well, ensuring you get to see all the most exciting sites from a unique perspective.
5. Shop for Locally Made Goods in the Historic Downtown Area
You can visit the historic downtown strip where you can purchase locally handcrafted jewelry, purses and more.
There are more than a few stores in this area, meaning that you can easily spend an afternoon strolling the streets and getting to know the “slow products” offered exclusively in this area.
