On our last day at Lake Tahoe Derrick and I decided to drive around the east side of the lake and take a different route home. This way we could see that side of Tahoe since coming in we came from the West. We also had plans to stop for a hike halfway home and soak up just a bit more scenery. What we didn't play on was getting stuck in a snowstorm! It was barely flurrying when we hit the road and about 3 miles later we were in a full fledged blizzard....in our prius. We were the only prius on the road. Luckily the roads didn't get bad while we were driving so we just forged ahead. We drove through snow for about an hour and found the hike that we were hoping to go on. We missed it the first time and almost didn't turn around but I'm so glad we did. The skies cleared as soon as we parked and the hike was awesome! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
Finally...an actual trail!
There was one other couple on the trail and we were happy they could take this photo of us. I think it really shows how amazing it was. We were just surrounded by these views...360 degrees!
See the waterfall?
We made one more stop on the way home and it was to take a picture of this rock. It just rose up out of nowhere and it looks like a giant toucan! How cool is that??
Lake Tahoe was amazing and if you ever get a chance to visit don't turn it down! Derrick and I want to go back during the summer sometime when it's warm enough to actually enjoy the water. That being said...Lake Tahoe has nothing on Yosemite. That's up next!
