El Dorado Beach, South Lake Tahoe

This weekend I made a trip up to South Lake Tahoe. I have written many times about the huge amount of snow the Sierra received this year and now Lake Tahoe and surrounding lakes and rivers are bearing the fruit of all that snow. The Tahoe area is always beautiful but this year you can still see snow on the mountain peaks as well as a lake that is full to the brim.

Some years the boat ramp and dock are closed

Summers are always a great time to visit the lake. There are sporting events, festivals, all types of recreational activities, big name entertainment and of course gambling.

Of course I had to go to The Beacon at Camp Richardson for Rum Runners, Steak Tacos and a beautiful view of the lake and surrounding mountains.

You may not see the lake this high for awhile so I would suggest a trip to the lake this summer.
