I’ve pulled together some of my favorite Lake Tahoe landscape photography I’ve taken over the years. I grew up in the Tahoe area and have seen many a beautiful sunsets and sunrises over Lake Tahoe. I’ve hiked and skied all around the Lake Tahoe Backcountry and have found some cool views of the lake. My favorite Tahoe landscape photographs are when the weather makes a turn for the worst and storms blow across the lake.

Geologist believe the Lake Tahoe basin was formed by the rise and fall of thethe collapse of a volcanic craterWith all the hiking, mountain biking and skiing the area has to offer, Lake Tahoe is a paradise for people looking to experience outdoor adventure. Lake Tahoe is the second deepest lake in the United States and 16th deepest in the world with a maximum depth measured at 1645 feet. Interestingly, scientist have attributed its iconic blue color to the low algae concentration. The only outlet of Lake Tahoe flows out into the Truckee River which travels about 114 miles into the Nevada desert where it eventually ends its journey into Pyramid Lake, which is surrounded by dry desert pastel brown colored mountains, it is a very cool place to visit.
