Lake Tahoe Summer Vacations
Lake Tahoe summer vacations are truly magical. If you are lucky enough to live in the Northern California area, you are only a 3 hours drive away from this beautiful resort town that is surrounded by one of the most pristine lakes in the world.
I love Lake Tahoe because it is only a 1 1/2 hours plane ride from Los Angeles, but if we want to bring our dog Lexi on the trip with us, it is a very dog friendly place and is about a 7 1/2 hours drive.
Lake Tahoe has something to offer everyone in your family. Your dog will love all the nature hikes. If you like water sports, you can rent a boat with an instructor for the day to explore the nearby beaches like Emerald Bay. While making your way to the beaches, you can waterski, jet ski, tube, water surf, or just enjoy the lake. For people who like to cycle, Lake Tahoe has some very challenging altitude and terrain that make it a very appealing place for athletes to live.
If you are not interested in sports, the hotels like the Ritz Carlton offer luxurious spa treatments. You can get a facial and a massage while your other family members are out hiking or doing water sports on a boat.
In the evenings, Lake Tahoe also offers scenic Lakeside views at gourmet world class restaurants that will have delicious foods for everyone.
Accommodations in Lake Tahoe can range from the very high end hotels like the Ritz Carlton to local hotels that offer accommodations for backpackers and students. Everyone can visit Lake Tahoe on a range of budgets and experience the beauty of this special place.
What do you wear in Lake Tahoe? Well based on everything I mentioned above, you should pack for your particular activities you have planned. And if you did not pack the right things for your trip, you can always pick something up in Tahoe City or at one of the resorts.
Below I have linked some of my picks for your Tahoe trip so you can be well equipped for your vacation. Make a comment if you have any other questions.

For a night out Lake Tahoe is pretty casual, but you will still want a dress for a night out. I linked my dress from Ulla Johnson which is now on sale and a few other night out options:
