Things to do in Lake Tahoe
Lake Tahoe is a stunning freshwater lake located on the border of Nevada and California. Especially in summer, there are countless things to do, from swimming and hiking to simply enjoying the beautiful scenery. In this blog post, I want to share more about my trip to Lake Tahoe in August and why it quickly became one of my favorite summer getaways.
Lake Tahoe is also the perfect escape for people living in the Bay Area, and many families even have a second home there. On a sunny Sunday morning, a friend and I set off early from San Francisco and drove to Lake Tahoe, a journey that took us around three hours. We left at about 6 a.m. and returned in the evening, making it an ideal day trip.
This view perfectly captures why Lake Tahoe is such a special summer destination, with clear water, mountain scenery and endless natural beauty.
