When Mark Twain visited Lake Tahoe, he described the air in the clouds as both “very pure and fine,” and “bracing and delicious.” In 1861, Twain travelled across much of Lake Tahoe by rowboat while harvesting timber on the lake’s shores, and he truly thought it “must surely be the fairest picture the whole earth affords.” Later, the American novelist thought that he was breathing the same air as angels. Much of the lake’s beautiful forests are as pristine across the 72-mile shoreline as they were back then. One of great times of year to experience Tahoe is late winter when the picturesque landscape fills with fluffy snow, the area is surrounding with the festive mood.
