Idyllic summer days

Any day is a beautiful day in Tahoe, and never more so than the long summer days that are upon us now. Whether you’re lounging on the beach, bagging another peak, meandering through a wildflower-filled meadow, taking in a free concert, hitting the single track, languishing over a scrumptious dinner or taking a morning paddle on Big Blue, it all is a little more wonderful in the summer.

Tim Hauserman shares his recent hike along the Rubicon Trail that follows the waters of Lake Tahoe along the West Shore from D.L. Bliss State Park to Emerald Bay for his story “Idyllic views along Rubicon Trail.” Sandy coves, nesting ospreys and eagles, waterfalls and Vikingsholm castle beg to be explored.

While Tim was exploring the lake, Priya Hutner was exploring the mountains as she joined a women’s bike clinic recently to hone her mountain biking skills for this issue with Tahoe Mountain Guides.

Honey makes everything better, and I’ve been relishing the blackberry honey I picked up recently at the Tahoe City Farmers’ Market from local beekeeper Patty Spiller. Kayla Anderson talked to Spiller recently about her beekeeping and honey for “The buzz on local honey.”

 

Thanks to Tahoe Star Tours

I want like to express my heart-felt gratitude to Tony Berendsen of Tahoe Star Tours, who hosted the Tahoe Weekly staff recently at Northstar. I’ve enjoyed Tony’s tours many times through the years combining astronomy with poetry and sprinkled with bits of his wisdom to make for one of the most unique experiences I’ve had the pleasure to experience and write about. If you haven’t been to one of his tours, this is something worth making the time for.
