lake tahoe one of the most beautiful places in the united states today i'm going to be
sharing some amazing places to go spots to eat and even where to stay on your next trip
to north america's largest alpine lake here we go couple fun facts about lake tahoe it has a
lake surface area of 191 square miles tahoe is 645 feet deep if we compared it to the height of
the empire state building at 1454 feet tall it would actually be higher up if you didn't know
it lake tahoe sits between two states nevada and california and we are right at the border here
you take two steps into nevada and the first thing you see no shock casinos
i can assure you if you came here in the summer this lot would be full very early in the morning
there are many that argue this is the most scenic hike in the entire state of california
now the rubicon trail runs between dl bliss state park and emerald bay
you are hiking right alongside lake tahoe and the views are amazing
mark twain once said to breathe the same air as ain't almost tripped mark twain once said
to breathe the same air as angels you must go to tahoe i think he was definitely onto something
ah if you need an excuse to go kayaking hiking or anything really active start your day at glazed
and confused this is the most instagrammable spot in south tahoe for food as far as i'm concerned
feels like i'm eating cereal on a donut to be honest with you
nice enough coming up here and then to put a smile on someone's face with a
happy little breakfast is good for me you see the connection here between the donut that was put on
a waffle baker and the fried chicken so we're combining like sweet salty all in one
this is actually one of the most unique breakfasts i've ever eaten in my entire life

guys could spread your time or the kids could be down here and the grown-ups could be upstairs you

the lake somehow today we have the opportunity to do so with tahoe by design we're going to be
riding grateful red ways to see lake tahoe one from the shore and one from being out on the lake
it's a different perspective for sure it's very different seeing the lake from the trees and being
on the lake and see the landscape what do you like more i think yeah 98 pure you can see a dinner
plate 80 feet down in the lake we practically have the whole lake to ourselves right now
this is a very memorable experience got a neat vibe i love tahoe and you just you know to wake
up every day with this kind of scenery and you get the true four seasons here
all right this is emerald bay the most crowded place in all of lake tahoe especially in the
summer and we're standing at the point that is probably the most photographed point in the entire
region right here right in the middle fanette island this is one of the best viewpoints like
hands down you can kill two birds with one stone when you leave your car at emerald bay state park
vikings home is a one mile hike down to the water it's definitely worth it you'll see in
new york we have skyscrapers in california we have trees this is viking's home it was
built in 1928 as one of the finest examples of scandinavian architecture in the entire
western hemisphere the original creator of the home went to scandinavia scouting around for ideas
before she even built this now normally during the peak season it is open for tours being mid-october
it's closed but i still think it's worth the hike to come down here to walk around something really
unique which is situated directly next to one of those beautiful lakes in the united states
himmelhouse is basically a german beer hall meets a lake tahoe restaurant if you like beer like i do
get a pilsner it's a great thing to do after a long day of hiking and sightseeing and of
course german food very hardy so it's perfect if it gets a little bit chilly outside i don't
know if i've ever tried elk my entire life we're gonna give this a go very good paired with a beer
this is nice

lake views we're on the nevada side this is putting a smile on my face
