We left our RV parked near Crowley Lake and made the drive to Lake Tahoe to visit with our friends Steve, Wende and Brady.  It’s always fun to spend time with them but summer in Tahoe at their nice home is special.

Lake Tahoe is a truly beautiful place at any time but summer is especially nice with a pleasant climate, clean mountain air, the blue lake and the variety of colors in the snow topped mountains.  We enjoyed lots of hiking, biking and took a ride up the Heavenly gondola and did a little hiking around the ski runs.

Steve discovered a short trail that leads to the top of Cave Rock which is located along the northeast shore of the lake.  The road along the lake actually follows a tunnel through Cave Rock.  The view from on top is one of the best anywhere around the lake.

Following our few days here we will drive back down to Crowley Lake and reunite with the RV.
