Lake Tahoe, North America’s largest alpine lake, sits at 6,200 feet across the California and Nevada border, and is a vast outdoor playground for hardcore and low-key adventurers alike. What really makes Lake Tahoe sparkle, however, is not just the 300-plus days of sunshine and year-round leisure pursuits, but also its local attractions, like shopping and great food, set around 72 miles of sapphire blue shoreline.
