A Very Special Treat!
The scenery is memorable from almost anywhere on the shore of Lake Tahoe, the “Jewel of the Sierra”. For a special treat, we jumped into a R44 Raven II helicopter (operated by Reno-Tahoe Helicopters) for a birds-eye view of the South Shore including Emerald Bay and Cascade Lake, backed by the Winter Wonderland of Desolation Wilderness. TIP: Before you take off ask them to remove the doors!
It’s definitely a unique way to see Lake Tahoe. Among large lakes, this amazing national treasure is the second highest in the world (6.225 feet). With a maximum depth of 1,645 feet, its 39 trillion gallons of water would cover all of California to a depth of 14 inches.
