p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · South Lake Tahoe locations


Hi all, I'll be heading to South Lake Tahoe this weekend, would like to know what are the good photography locations for landscape shots in general, during sunset, and also of the Milky Way. Preferably nearer to the South side as I am heading from the Bay Area, but if the location is enticing enough I wouldn't mind driving a little. Would be great if it is accessible by road, but a bit of hiking wouldn't be a problem as well. Thanks!

A not-far drive to the west on the south shore is the Emerald Bay and Fannette Island part of Lake Tahoe. The road is very high above the lake there, but there is plenty of parking and you get the view to the north/east. I think there are trails down to the lake, but the hike back up seems brutal (to me). A quick Google Images search will show you what the lay of the land is. Maybe good for late afternoon. fwiw

Emerald Bay is typically a sunrise location (although, if there is cloud above the lake, sunset would work). Driving from the South, and about 100 yds past the Emerald Bay pullout, there is a parking area on the left side for eagle Falls. HOWEVER, the actually falls are located on the Lake side (so don't hiking off to the West).

For Sunset's, the East side of the Lake is better. Try Zephyr Cove, Sand Harbor (about 30 mins from the casino area), and also Bonzai Rock (close to Sand Harbor).
