Lake Tahoe

Lake Tahoe, United States

Water clear enough to see forty feet down on a calm day, ski resorts ringing the shore for winter and the same slopes turned into hiking trails by summer, and a shoreline split between two states that cannot quite agree on the time zone either.

The best time to visit Lake Tahoe is Dec–Mar, or Jun–Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 31°C (89°F).
