This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Lake Tahoe, California

Lake Tahoe is a place of sublime beauty that inspires awe.. Mark Twain described it as "the fairest picture the whole earth affords." The picturesque setting mesmerizes visitors with its dazzling expanse of shimmering blue waters. The lake's brilliant topaz color is attributed to its depth of nearly 1,640 feet at the deepest point, and its crystal-clear quality comes from the purest source - melted snow supplied by small streams. Lake Tahoe straddles the states of California and Nevada, spanning 22 miles from north to south and 12 miles across. It would require at least three hours to drive around the entire lake .

Duration: 8 hours

Stop At: Emerald Bay State Park, Lake Tahoe (California), California

A small sheltered section on the west shore, the Emerald Bay State Park is one of the loveliest areas of Lake Tahoe. Emerald Bay is surrounded by forested hillsides of glacier-carved granite and dotted with a tiny islet at its center. Because the bay is slightly shallower than the rest of Lake Tahoe, the waters take on a striking blue-green color. Along the rugged shoreline of Emerald Bay are serene hiking trails with breathtaking panoramic vistas.

This park extends along Lake Tahoe for nearly two miles, with densely wooded forests of aspen, fire pine, and juniper trees. The property was owned by the wealthy financier Isaias W. Hellman and later by his daughter, Florence Hellman Ehrman, from 1897 until 1965. The family's opulent vacation residence, the Hellman-Ehrman Mansion was completed in 1903. Designed as a summer home, the casual yet elegantly rustic mansion was equipped with the most modern conveniences of the time. The estate stands in a tranquil pine and cedar grove on 2,000 acres of woodlands. The grounds include a flower garden with a gazebo, which is often used as a wedding venue.
