“One of the best locations in the area for fall color photography,” says photography Scott Thompson of the cover image for this edition of Tahoe Weekly. “The shack near the top of Highway 267 has provided me with many beautiful photos over the years. This photo was one from this year, shot Sept. 18, 2016.” | Available as large fine art prints at ScottShotsPhoto.com

Reflecting on recent editions of Tahoe Weekly, I am always impressed by the locals that call the Tahoe Sierra home. And, for the vast majority of those of us that live here, we do all make a life choice to call the mountains home.

Just in the last few issues, our writers have penned stories on Adrian Ballinger and Emily Harrington’s pioneering adventure to summit the sixth tallest mountain in the world in a rapid ascent; Dylan Silver capturing the underwater effects of clarity on Lake Tahoe through his Tahoe Clarity project; Amy Berry at the helm of the Tahoe Fund filling in the funding gaps to make all of our lives better in the Tahoe Basin; Douglas Dale creating a culinary legacy spanning nearly 40 years that now includes a new book; and countless stories through the decades on the many, many other amazing locals that share our community. And, that’s not to mention the great articles we’ve featured on hiking, mountain biking, paddleboarding, rock climbing, night biking, and cycling in recent weeks.

And, Ballinger and Harrington did complete their rapid ascent of Cho Oyu, in case you missed our coverage at TheTahoeWeekly.com and facebook.com/TheTahoeWeekly.
