Lake Tahoe: Living in the Postcard

The Captain of Tahoe Girl has been working on the 'lake in the sky' for 30 years and talks about living in the postcard.

Our time cruising in the paddle boat is a gentle way to see and to experience the vistas and the majesty of this huge lake floating high in the Sierra Nevada's.

And its all about the water and the color of the water, mesmerizing.
Endless inky blue water, looking across to the east and Nevada
Clarity of the water.


The change in depth creates amazing color changes in the water.

Big sky, rocky lake edges rimmed with pines.

Beauty of the shallows of Lake Tahoe


From 15' to 200' creates this hard line in the color change!
And wherever you look, mountains. Must be an incredible winter scene with snow everywhere.
