West Shore

Travel Guide

Monterey California
The dock of the Hellman-Ehrman Mansion on the shore of Lake Tahoe in Sugar Pines Point State Park. The lake is magical in itself, but sitting there enjoying the entirety of the scenery is breath-taking. The mansion tour is US $12 and a very nice docent led exploration. The grounds have a lot to see as it is a part of a larger state park. Cheaper than the Vikingsholm tour nearby and much less crowded.
Gorgeous view of Rubicon Point with a very full Lake Tahoe
Early morning view from the pier at Sugar Pine Point State Park. There's still a little bit of snow on the distant mountain range around South Lake and Desolation Wilderness. The throngs of tourists are on their way for the summer season, but luckily for me... no one is around today. #LakeTahoe #Hiking #CAStateParks #BeachBound #Camping #Pattern
Spent the weekend in Truckee, but stopped in Tahoe City on the way home. Lake waters have receded quite significantly, but the lake is clear and beautiful.
