Vacation Lakes

Lake Tahoe was gorgeous! We stopped by shortly after we entered Nevada. It was hard to find public access but we did find a nice spot to get some photos and enjoy the view.

The crystal clear water was amazing and I loved getting my feet into the water after climbing down some rocks. It's the best part of visiting the water!

We visited Lake Tahoe on the way back home from our California trip but we did see a few other lakes on the way to California. They are pictured below.

June Lake

One of the Mammoth Lakes and well worth the extra loop off the highway. It was beautiful with cozy cabins, families fishing and even a rushing waterfall coming down the mountains. I could spend most of a week at June Lake!

Mono Lake

Tufa towers form under Mono lake due to calcium and springs. The unique formations make a very interesting look. The salt water must attract the same flies that swarm the shoreline at Salt Lake also. It was interesting to see this but it's not a week long vacation destination.

Salt Lake

Our stop at the shores of the great Salt Lake was interesting also. The flies were thick and the ground was certainly not "beach-like" but I am glad that we stopped. I did step into the water and taste it so that I could get the full experience.
