South Lake Tahoe - a day of activities

Centered at Yosemite, we with the Hotel Charlotte in Groveland, California, often have slopes and trails, areas where travelers are better when they leave Groveland, or are on track to meet Groveland. We find that Lake Tahoe is a goal that many of our visitors are coming from or going to say. We traveled all the passes of the Sierra Nevada, including Highways 80, 50, 88 and 89, 4, 108, 120 and 395 and then north to find our favorite TahoeStops along the route.

Our last trip was a stay of 2 nights in South Lake Tahoe. For our route we took is 49-50 in South Lake Tahoe. This took us four hours. On our way back we took Highway 89 to South Lake Tahoe on Highway 88 in Jackson, past Kirkwood ski resort and several scenic lakes alpinesque. From Jackson, we took 49 to the south. This route was only 3 hours and 15 minutes and very scenic, much less city and less traffic. Each of these pathsOpen all year, during the snow plowing season. Alternative routes include Highway 4 summer that some wonderful stops, including Murphy (a wine tasting City), Calaveras Big Trees State Park Scenic Byway, and the section of Highway 89 near Alpine Lake Markleevile that turns on the mountain (a slow and often but very narrow lens.) Highway 108 is another option through the Sierras and Yosemite rival Tioga Pass for incredible scenery.

Once in SouthLake Tahoe, will usually pick the smaller and more friendly Casino Hotel Lake Side Lodge, (not on the lake!) For the convenience of the city remain with fair prices, good menu selection and a small casino and welcoming. We also recommend a stay at the Zephyr Cove Resort, also on the Nevada side of the variety of activities. You can drive, rental boats, canoes, kayaks and sailboats from Zephyr Cove. In winter there's plenty of snow activities, from the beginningAmazon.de.

A drive around the lake is a must! Depending on the number of stops this cycle stage requires at least 2 hours and is located about 95 miles. We tend to go counterclockwise, clockwise while driving will keep you on the coastal highway, make a stop at any point of view, all the photos and small parks, swimming in the water and talk with the fishermen on their successes each enclave is unique.

One of our favorite stops has always been the Ponderosa Ranch.Bonanza for fans, this has always been a wonderful memory jogger. Sorry, sold the ranch and is now closed to the public. The ranch has been a lot of men centuries old craft of glass blowing from the forge. To please the crowd included an exercise lasso audiences with his art.

Tahoe City and several other places along the west bicycle rental in short supply. The mule is the limits on the lake and the road. Watch for traffic on the highway as the road in several places. This is abeautiful route on a paved bike path and is good with families and sport riders alike used.

is short before returning to South Lake Tahoe Emerald Bay, where you see the castle and the teahouse island-top. Both remote and lonely looking place, but surprising that they exist.

Back in South Lake Tahoe jump on board the gondola to the summit of Mount Heaven. This could be a subject little 'uncomfortable for those with a penchant for high and this horrible feeling, butworth a few minutes, without ground beneath their feet. Victor enjoyed my reaction when looking for our climb cocoon coat. There are dozens of walks that come from Pinnacle and track. Be sure to return before the end of the gondola, is a long way if you do not!

Let's cruise boat paddle, MS Dixie II departs from Zephyr Cove. Our trip to have dinner, and while the meal was fair and we met someNice traveler at our table when I'd do it, we only go around, skip the meal, you save $ 20 per person and a wonderful dinner after debarking the country! The cruise takes you across the lake to Emerald Bay, where we have yet to see the places from earlier in the day, but from a new angle. This bay is one of the most photographed places in the world noticed a well-earned title!

Other activities for a longer stay, a hot air balloon over the lake, Go rafting on the Truckee River, horseback riding, a trip to Virginia City in Nevada or Reno, and more! Looking at strategic locations throughout the hotel by region valuable coupons.

to do more images and ideas about things in the Tahoe area, there http://www.HotelCharlotte.com additional stops along the way links and photos.

Options for a roundabout way back from Tahoe to the east Groveland removal of 395 and south, where you cantake the time to visit Bodie along the eastern Sierra, a genuine ghost town.
