LAKE TAHOE
Lake Tahoe is located along the border of California and Nevada. About one-third of the basin is in Nevada and two-thirds is in California. Lake Tahoe is the second deepest lake in the United States and the tenth deepest in the world, with a maximum depth measured at 501 m. It is about 35 km long and 19 km wide and has 116 km of shoreline and a surface area of 495 km2. The deep, emerald waters of
this beautiful lake are set within
an alpine valley at the highest
point of the High Sierras.
Lake Tahoe is admired for its great depth and clarity and beautiful alpine surroundings. It is a true jewel. Lake Tahoe attractions go beyond just the water. The area’s rich environment influences the majority of Lake Tahoe’s attractions: hiking, camping, skiing, snowboarding, sunbathing, paddleboarding and more. The surrounding peaks are
also famous for their ski resorts.
The world-class
Alpine
Meadows and Squaw Valley
are well-known
because the
Winter Olympics were held
here in 1960.

ReplyDeletePrzepiękny widok, na który zapatrzyłam się na dłuższą chwilę. Zachody słońca w naturze chyba zawsze ładnie wyglądają, więc takie pocztówki są moimi ulubionymi :)
