Lake Tahoe is one of the largest and clearest alpine lakes in the world, straddling the California-Nevada border and delivering two very different seasons — world-class skiing in winter and some of the best mountain lake beaches in the country come summer. Few destinations in the US offer this much range within a single lake basin.
Top Things to Do at Lake Tahoe
The Emerald Bay overlook, on the lake's southwest shore, is Tahoe's most photographed view — a fjord-like bay with a small island and turquoise water framed by granite peaks. Sand Harbor, on the Nevada side, has some of the clearest water and best swimming beaches on the lake, backed by boulder-strewn shoreline.
In winter, resorts like Heavenly and Palisades Tahoe draw skiers from across the country, while summer brings hiking, mountain biking, and boating to the same slopes. A full drive around the 72-mile shoreline is one of the best ways to see the lake's range, from the built-up South Shore casino strip to the quieter, more forested North Shore.
What to Pack for Lake Tahoe
Tahoe's elevation means cooler temperatures and stronger sun than the lower-elevation California towns nearby, in any season. The VacationGrabs Big Outdoor Leather Backpack is built for a day that mixes beach time with mountain trails, and the VacationGrabs Leather Overnight Duffel is a great size for a lake weekend in any season.
