South Lake Tahoe Getaway/Echo Lake/ Metzger's zinnia's patch

Tahoe reminds me a little of Utah. With thunderstorms comes and goes quickly.
We hiked and biked yesterday and had lunch outside (first time since Shelter in Place for Paul)
This morning we packed up and is ready to visit couple places on the way home.

Place #1 Echo Lake
Wearing mask since it's a popular hike. The trail is part of Tahoe Rim Trail. Many people back pack from here. It starts out narrow and rocky. Gradual and steady ascend is rewarded with open view of the valley and lakes. Beautiful view!!!

Place #2 Metzger's zinnia's patch
I saw this place on Instagram the night before our get away. Naturally I asked Paul if we could stop by. It's totally free to pick flowers. But they have one rule; you must pick a bouquet for those who can't. What a concept! I give a bouquet to Marilyn since she's the first person that came in my mind.

Vikingsholm/Rubicon trail/Emerald Bay(South Lake Tahoe)

Emerald Bay is arguably the most scenic area in all of Lake Tahoe and one of the most photographed landscapes in North America. Get there early since parking lot fills up quickly. 

A National Natural Landmark, the expansive views of the sparkling lake are nestled by miles of forest green pine trees and provide a scenery that will take your breath away. "
"In the pine forest."

Hike, explore, or simply sit and take in the magnificent scenery.

 Emerald Bay also contains the lake’s only island, Fannette Island, and is a popular spot amongst scuba divers. 

And Vikingsholm, Tahoe's hidden castle
