Lake Tahoe

One of the great things about living on the West Coast is that you are within a day's drive of so many fantastic places! For instance, San Diego is about an 8 hour drive from Lake Tahoe, the second deepest lake in the United States at 1645 foot deep. Lake Tahoe is 12 miles wide and 22 miles long, and there are many other smaller lakes in the area. Crystal and I went on many hikes, and I brought you back a few pictures!
