Lake Tahoe, West


After Yosemite, we headed back to Tahoe, but to the west side of the lake. There, we rented a cabin for three quiet nights. We spent a lot of time on the pier above, sitting and enjoying the lake.


On my birthday, we did some hiking around Emerald Bay, pictured above.


We hiked down to Vikingsholm, a house built by a wealthy woman in the early 1900s. She wanted it to resemble a French chateau and it is adorable. Though the house was closed for the season, it was still cool to see.


From there, we hiked up to Eagle Falls - so pretty!


On our drives, we were happy to see aspens in all shades of yellow. We didn't know these trees would be around Tahoe (we'd seen them in Colorado last year) so they were a nice surprise.

That wraps up the trip! It was so nice to get away, especially for my birthday!
