Understand
Lake Tahoe is a beautiful, deep blue lake nestled among mountain peaks. It has depths of up to 1,600 feet (490 m) and the mountain peaks are in the 8,000 (2,400 m)- to 10,000-foot (3,000 m) range. During the summer, boating, camping, and hiking are popular activities. Winter sports are popular during the colder months (December-April). Lake Tahoe has been a tourist destination since the turn of the 20th century, when steam trains and improving roads made it possible to visit with ease. The 1960 Winter Olympics, held at Olympic Valley, popularized winter sports at Tahoe.
