Looking directly west across the lake toward California. Sand Harbor unit of Lake Tahoe State Park, Nevada. Even on an August weekday we were lucky to get parking here! It's a popular area, due to the sandy beaches, and hardy souls even get in the water. Lake Tahoe is natural, but its level was raised by a small outlet dam, for water storage, about a century ago. Despite local urban legends, it is _not_ a volcanic crater!
