A trip to Lake Tahoe @ Jeff Keller

A trip to Lake Tahoe

Posted on August 1st, 2012 Jeff Keller No comments

Despite living only three hours away, I haven’t been on a proper trip to Lake Tahoe in around twenty years. I took care of that this past weekend, spending three days up at the lake on this year’s summer vacation. Below are my favorite photos from the trip, which I took using the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100.

I’m on a boat! Sea kayaking is hard work!

The gates at the mouth of the Truckee River. There are always fish swimming around down there.

The water is just amazingly clear in Tahoe

Heavenly gondola. $34 for a ride up in the summer! Expensive but worth it!

Looking back toward the lake is a little unnerving

Gondolas approaching the observation deck

So this is what a ski run looks like in the summer. Talk about clear-cutting!

This one’s not high on my list of potential careers.
