Granite Lake is a lake worth visiting. This lake is so wonderful. You can observe Inspiration Point from Granite Lake. Just can't get enough of the Northern Sierra Nevada. Get covered with water paddling on Silver Creek - South Fork, and dry warm beds await you at Pine Cone Acre Motel. This lake is so wonderful. A tour to Calawee Cove Beach right next door to Granite Lake is always a great idea, and what would winter be without some skiing at Homewood. This

the Hawley Grade Trail. Golf can be played at Tahoe Paradise Golf Course. There's so much to do here at Granite Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Bayview Campground is a fine location for that. Whitewater paddling is
good on American River - South Fork, and there are good sites to look at along the General Creek Trail. All through the long summer days here at Granite Lake, high temperatures generally reach the 70's. Through the moonlight hours
it's commonly in the 40's. Throughout the winter this place gets highs in the 40's, and after the sun is down during the winter temperatures at Granite Lake plunge into the 10's. Go for a hike on the Pacific Crest Trail - section
14; Eagle Falls is a good local attraction. And that's not all there is to do here in the Northern Sierra Nevada. If you want to have a look at some interesting stuff, have a look at Parson Rock, obviously you could also explore Eagle
Lake while you're here; it's not far at all. So much entertaining stuff in the Northern Sierra Nevada, just unbelievable. This is a popular location for folks from Gardnerville Ranchos; Granite Lake is tremendous enough to spend
more than a day at, Eagle Falls Campground is a tremendous local campground. Granite Lake gets a normal amount of annual rainfall; January is when you get the most snow here, and July on the other hand is the driest. This lake
is so wonderful. Looking for something near Granite Lake? Snow Lake is in close proximity, and hey, Gotta ski right? Sierra at Tahoe is a glorious spot to do that.

Grouse Lake
 | Great hiking, the trail starts at Wrights Lake, which is a beautiful lake in its own right, and heads up. If your looking for a good walking trail I would suggest staying on the Wrights Lake ''loop'' trail that circles the lake. But if you want a good hiking/climbing trail the Grouse Lake hike is the one for you. Even in late August the wild flowers were still in bloom and when you reach the top you cannot ask for better views of the surrounding area. From certain points in the trail you can see Ice House Lake as well as looking down on Wrights Lake. I am a bit on the older side so I stop and rest 3-4 times on the way up and it took me a little over 2 hours to reach the top, the last 10-15 minutes were rather steep, but well worth it. There are 2 more lakes beyond Grouse Lake that are an easy walk.... |

 | Lake #3 lies a couple of miles inside the Desolation Wilderness Boundary. Upon arrival, you find yourself along a lake which is beautifully cradled against the Crystal mountain range.

Round Lake
 | 12 miles away This small ''round'' lake is the beginning of the ''Upper Truckee River'' which flows into Lake Tahoe, and the outflow is known simply as the ''Truckee River'' which ends up flowing into Pyramid Lake, in Nevada. Compared to further south in the Sierra Nevada range the local scenery is not as majestic but is indeed pretty, easy to hike and unlike very high altitude locations, offers better campsites. The lake contains one species of trout, the Lahontan Cutthroat. Back in the early 1970's I managed to catch and release a couple dozen specimens weighing between one and two pounds. The fish are classically well-marked and the flesh is a pronounced pink. I have found over several trips that the lake fish are harder to catch than the fish in the outflow canyon. ... |
Heavenly

Do you ski California or Nevada? Do you want jaw-dropping views of incredibly-blue Lake Tahoe, or the stark contrast of the high Nevada desert below? Will it be 34 miles of wide-open, groomed cruisers, 1,600-foot plunges in the double-black canyons or the most outrageous tree skiing in North America? Is it the 80-foot jumps in High Roller Terrain Park, or a thrill ride on the 3,300-foot-long Heavenly Flyer, the longest zip line in the continental U. S. ?
And when the sun goes down, there's a veritable Pandora's Box of choices and temptations. On-mountain exhilaration yields to après ecstasy in the form of Vegas-style action, all-night dance clubs, world-class entertainment and five-star dining.
So what do you choose? Mother Nature? Lady Luck? Or something in between?
