South Shore, CA

Travel Guide

Quick stop on our backpacking journey to take in these amazing views of Tahoe at Maggie's Peak. #hiking
The end of our first night backpacking in desolation wilderness, breathtaking view of the sunset.#hiking #sunset
The shimmering, jewel hued waters of the aptly named Emerald Bay was a sight for sore eyes. By far the best view in Lake Tahoe! My only regret was not packing my swimsuit.. or a decent pair of walking shoes to hike down to Vikingsholm.

[August '14]
Hike the Eagle Lake trail! If hiking in winter, I recommend Goretex boots, water resistant pants, trekking poles, snacks and optimism. The views are incredible and completely worth "power sliding" through the snow ;) Snow shoes would have been a great addition too.
Mt. Tallac (9,739ft) is located in the Desolation a Wilderness and Eldorado National Forest. The mountain is accessible all year round. In the winter it is a popular winter mountaineering and backcountry ski area. The Northeast Ridge is the most direct and steepest route and is only doable in the winter. #snow

Stayed here for a quick trip to ski. Excellent location in the village.
