Lake Tahoe Circle Drive
🚗9 mapped stops
A full circumnavigation of the clearest lake in America — 72 miles of alpine shoreline straddling California and Nevada. Emerald Bay's impossible blue, Sand Harbor's granite boulders, the Heavenly Gondola's 9,000-foot views, and Vikingsholm Castle tucked into the shore. Two states, one lake, and water so clear you can see 70 feet down.
