Lake Tahoe and the High Sierras Holidays

The towering peaks of the High Sierras soar above the valleys and plains of California and create a spectacular landscape of lush forested slopes and azure lakes that are ideally suited to both summer adventures and winter escapades. Lake Tahoe is one of the largest and most beautiful lakes in the area, known for its fresh crystal clear waters which straddle the border of California and Nevada.

Further south, sits stunning Mammoth Lakes, an outdoor enthusiast’s natural adventure playground.
