South Lake Tahoe 3D2N Travel Diary
π Day 1 β° Arrived around 3 PM, headed straight to Emerald Bay State Park πΉ Inspiration Point β Breathtaking aerial view of the lake! πΉ Sugar Pine State Park ($10 entry) β Gorgeous! Loved the wooden bridge and the boat-launching railroad tracks π€οΈ (so cool!). πΉ Emerald Bay State Park β Quick stop, preferred Sugar Pine. πΉ Eagle Falls β Short hike to a cute waterfall + splash time. π Dinner @ Orchid's Authentic Thai Cuisine β Duck fried rice (best weβve had!) + Pumpkin Curry (order extra rice!). π Day 2 π Planned Sand Harbor, but no parkingβso we stumbled upon: πΉ Tahoe East Shore Trail β UNEXPECTED GEM! Lakeside paved path (hike/bike), pristine with secret beach access. TOP 1 HIGHLIGHT! πΉ Heavenly Gondola β $63 (ride) or $93 (ride + coaster). Must-stop at the midway viewpoint for panoramic lake photos! Summit offers climbing + mini gondolas. π£ Dinner @ Harumi Sushi β Decent, but sushi/Thai = safe bets when traveling! πΉ Secret Cove Nude Beach β Parked @ Chimney Beach, hiked a dusty trail ("Clothing optional, no staring" sign π). π Day 3 πΉ 8:30 AM β Clearly Tahoe glass kayak tour (1.5hr guided). Then, homeward bound! #LakeTahoe #TravelDiary #HiddenGems #NoRegrets
