  • Fishing: The Perfect way to Spend a Lake Tahoe Morning

    Calling Lake Tahoe beautiful, is like calling wrestling fake--it just doesn't do it justice.

  • Bring Some Culture to your Tahoe Vacation

    It's a generally accepted fact that most people slow down to look at a traffic accident. It's human nature. We're drawn to the unknown and the gruesome, whether it's flipping to the photographs in a true crime paperback or opening the refrigerator container from three months ago. We're scab pickers. That same attraction, no doubt, is what draws visitors to what used to be named...

  • Sightseeing from Lake Tahoe: A Three-Hour Tour Away

    Lake Tahoe is a gorgeous mountain lake located in the High Sierras. Straddling the California-Nevada border, the lake features clear, sparkling waters surrounded by lofty peaks. Because of the lake's size, 22 miles long and 11 miles wide, the best way to take full advantage of all it has to offer is by boat. With 72 miles of shoreline, boaters are sure to find a secluded cove, a sandy beach, or...

  • Pack it in, Drink it, and Pack it Out: Celebrating Tahoe-Style

    The best way to enjoy South Lake Tahoe is by being outdoors and doing just about anything, or doing nothing. (A word about the actual lake, though: I have swum in the lake.

If you don't believe...

  • Spend a Little, Save a Lot (or the Other Way Around) in Lake Tahoe

    Aha, so you finally took the plunge and booked a trip to Stateline and South Lake Tahoe. Before you head west (or east or south or north, or whatever way you're heading) consider exactly what you'll do once you get there. Yeah, yeah, yeah so you can ski and do hundreds of other things outside, but that's not what we're talking about. You know what will happen. After one day on the slopes...

  • The Battle of Lake Tahoe: North vs. South

    Lake Tahoe in spring is, without a doubt, one of the most stunningly beautiful places in the world. Picture yourself schussing down the ski run sporting your cut-off shorts or bikini top, sun shining down on you, an amazing view of the lake down below you. If the winter ski season is a good one, then the spring skiing and snowboarding in Tahoe is even more impressive. This is a party unique to Tahoe...

  • What Happens in Tahoe Stays in Tahoe

    Tahoe is like Vegas, with snow. Really. For my money, most of which I lose after the first night of casino hopping, there is no better spring break destination for blowing off mid-semester steam.

Here are the basics: Lake Tahoe is located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, on the border between California and Nevada....

How appropriate, as the state line cuts directly through Lake Tahoe, the largest alpine lake in North America, located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range...

  • Spring Break Musical: California Destinations Hotter than Zac Efron

    I fondly remember piling as many friends as possible into one car, getting ready to hit the road on a twelve-plus hour ride for that long-anticipated Spring Break. Music was key to our road trip, so we had the strains of Steely Dan's My Old School playing loudly, proud that our college had a mention, even if it was "oh, no, William and Mary won't do"!
