We took a trip to Lake Tahoe for our 4th anniversary. We stayed at Squaw Valley, the site of the 1960 winter Olympics. While there we went moonlight kayaking, hiking, swimming, tramming, biking, and eating.
Kayaking was the first thing we did when we got there. It was a sunset tour so we left with the sun up and paddled along the shoreline as the sun went down. The trip took us about 1.7 miles down the shore as the sunset and then we paddled back in the dark. None of the photos I took from it really came out, its hard to take a long exposure picture when the boat is moving up and down.
The place we stayed at was really nice and was full of shops and restaurants. Unfortunately, the bars made it really hard to sleep as drunks were constantly yelling at each other until 2-3 in the morning and the windows had to be open due to the lack of air conditioning (keep in mind it rarely gets hot there, but was when we went).
We took a drive around the lake and caught a couple of car shows while doing so. There also ended up being an autocross in the large parking lot next to the hotel while we were there.
They also had a tram that goes up to their High Camp (8200 ft), we received tickets for it with our hotel stay otherwise we would have passed due to the cost. Up at the top they had swimming, paintball, disc golf, hiking, roller rink, a restaurant, tennis and lots of hiking. We went swimming, the temperature at that altitude was really nice. They also had the Olympic museum up there.
