I think to myself …What a wonderful world, ah so truly said by Louis Armstrong. When u visit places like Lake Tahoe the fact that god is the finest artist of all comes alive.
The majestic lake will just take your breath away once u visit this beautiful place located between the two celebrated states of California and Nevada. Located at a maximum elevation of 6,229 feet Lake Tahoe is the highest lake of its size in the United States and the largest alpine lake in North America.
It is estimated that if ever the water of the lake is dispersed onto the state of California, the state will be submerged in 14 inches of water evenly. Wow right, such facts actually display the humor of mother earth and tell us how small we are before her magnificent existence.
The small town of South Lake Tahoe is well connected from road, and the nearest airport is in Reno; also known as, The biggest little city in the world, which is 45 minutes from the Lake town. We drove from the bay, Sunnyvale to be precise via I-5 and then switched to US50E to get to Lake Tahoe.
We decided to take the trip on thanksgiving, which surprisingly waved the traffic as people do prefer spending time with family and friends on this joyful day. The drive is spellbinding with lush green trees covered in mounds of snow. Winter does its magic on the mountains of sierra with such peace. White is the color we saw and I can’t explain in words how beautiful the experience was. We were fortunate enough to enjoy the fresh snow it was fluffy and softer than cotton.
The early lot of snow has already tempted professional and other skiers to the region. Heavenly resort has always been the favorite ski getaway. A swift gondola ride is available to reach the resort. The ride takes good 15 minutes to the top and the view from the ride is jaw dropping. It seems like the mountains range surrounding the majestic Lake has been dipped in white soulful color and left for us to admire. And the calm scent of the Lake gave the view an extra edge. The mystic combination of crystal blue Lake and white caps of mountains is as divine as the sound of music.
Tips:
Try to plan a trip during the onset of winter Nov- Dec or in the spring-summer season. These are the best period to enjoy the treats of Lake Tahoe.
In winter games, skiing, sledging are at their best and in summer the water sports rule are the favorite.
There is no place like Tahoe.
I like this blog. It gives a good practical view and does a fine job describing the beauty of the place. I almost want to fly there and experience it for myself. This is certainly spreading happiness and serenity through the carefully chosen words.
