As a local, I wanted to share my Lake Tahoe travel guide so you can experience all the best views, beaches, and hikes during your stay. I live in Reno which is just half an hour away from Tahoe so I basically spend any free days exploring! Lake Tahoe is the biggest alpine lake in North America and it’s famous for its clear teal colored water. Here’s my Lake Tahoe travel guide so you can enjoy the lake just like a local!
