Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe 05.20.2016

Emerald Bay is definitely one of the most beautiful places at Lake Tahoe.
We stopped at an overlook over Emerald Bay and were taken aback by the beautiful views. We enjoyed walking around the park and the lake area even it's a bit cold that day but it was a beautiful day.
Vikingsholm Castle is also nearby but we didn't get a chance to go this time around.





The lake was formed about 2 million years ago as part of the Lake Tahoe Basin, with the modern extent being shaped during the ice ages.
It is known for the clarity of its water and the panorama of surrounding mountains on all sides.
Lake Tahoe is a large freshwater lake in the Sierra Nevada of the United States. The area around Lake Tahoe was previously inhabited by the Washoe tribe of Native Americans. Lake Tahoe is the second deepest lake in the U.S., with a maximum depth of 1,645 feet (501 m), trailing Oregon's Crater Lake at 1,949 ft (594 m). https://en.wikipedia.org/
