Lake Tahoe

One of California's most beloved destinations is Lake Tahoe. Nestled in the Sierra, this alpine lake is a year-round destination, with skiing and snowboarding in colder months and beaches and boating when the weather gets warm.

Lake Tahoe is located just about 3-4 hours away from my family's home base in the San Francisco Bay Area, so it's one of the destinations we've visited most over the years. It's beautiful, but struggles with overcrowding and over-tourism, so it's important to visit responsibly and with the right preparation.
