Sitting 1897 meters (6224 feet) atop the Sierra Nevada mountain range, Lake Tahoe is a freshwater lake that takes pride as the largest alpine lake in North America. The lake boasts clear turquoise waters, which reflect the blue sky, inviting you to dive right in for a swim. Its scenic shores are dotted with eclectic ski resorts, such as Northstar California Resort and Palisades Tahoe. Pristine parks also add to the allure of this amazing getaway destination. If your plan is to camp by the lakeside, head to D. L. Bliss State Park. Nature lovers can soak in panoramic lake views from Emerald Bay State Park.
