  • Favorite Thing: I don't really have a favourite thing about South Lake Tahoe, but whilst roaming around, I met this Fillipino guy and his family. His wife was taking a photo of her husband and son, so I asked if they would like me to take one of them all, which they did. So here am I with some guy I never met before, and don't even know his name, haha. But that's what travel is all about, don't you think?

    Flora / Fauna:
    Pine Cones
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: I always like to take something 'natural' home with me, and usually it's a small pebble. But I came across this pine tree, with literally hundreds of huge cones under it. I just had to have one, so, over the fence I went, and the pine cone is now in my own lounge. What's more, it has seeds in it, which I'll try to grow later.

    Afternote: I did plant some of the seeds, but unfortunately they never grew :O(((. But I did find two little pines in New Hampshire in theFall, and they do seem to have survived the travelling and the English winter!

    Further Afternote!!. This Summer, two of those little seeds have suddenly decided to sprout and grow! They are only an inch or so high at the moment, but they will be well cared for over the Winter, along with those little pines from New Hampshire!

    The Lake:
    Why you came here?
  • Tip Rating:
  • South Lake Tahoe The Lake
  • View to South Lake Tahoe

  • Favorite Thing: Well, I guess if you came here, to Lake Tahoe, your main reason was to see the lake! Just ensure you leave enough time to do just that, not like me, too busy taking in the sights elsewhere, haha. Seriously, you will need much longer to see the beauty here. You'll want to stop everywhere, and take your time just looking!! I hope to go back some day (or two!). Just remember, drive clockwise for the best views.

  • Favorite Thing: As I mentioned previously, I cut across the Luther Pass and into Nevada before exploring Lake Tahoe. This photo is taken on Route 89, somewhere near the Luther Pass. Nice car! (my Ford Focus hire car, hehe).

     You seemed to have good luck with motels in the area, compared to us. Great page and photos on Lake Tahoe!

     I didn't know that Lake Tahoe was 6,245 deep. I had heard that all the water there would cover California.

     hey,lake Tahoe was surprising for Julian and I too. we arrived at night and we were terrified that the prices at the motels are gonna rip us off,but we were wrong,$35 kingsize bed downtown.It was October though,maybe that's why :O) hugs to ya Geoff
