Three epic stops, one day packed with sweeping lake views and sun-soaked beach vibes—El Dorado County, Carson City, and Washoe County bring all the Tahoe magic! 💙✨ If you want a taste of the best vantage points *and* the chance to dip your toes into crystal-clear water, this itinerary will get you there.
Top Spots to Visit:
Lake Tahoe Observation Deck
Start strong at 4080 Lake Tahoe Blvd, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150. You’ll get jaw-dropping panoramic lake and mountain views—early mornings mean fewer crowds and gorgeous soft light for photos. Be sure to bring a jacket, it can get breezy up top! 🏔️
Chimney Beach
Next, drive over to Chimney Beach, Carson City, NV 89703. Park at Chimney Beach Trailhead (Co Rd 291, Carson City), and enjoy a short, scenic hike down to the beach. The trail’s about a mile each way and totally worth the trek—the reward is soft sand and the most unreal blue water for a chill-out, swim, or quick picnic. Pro tip: Arrive by midday for easier parking and bring plenty of water. 🏖️
Chimney Beach Trailhead
If you’re a hiking fan, arrive early at the trailhead to snag a good parking spot and beat the heat. The trail is well maintained—just don’t forget sturdy shoes and sunscreen, especially if you plan to spend all day outdoors.
How to Get Around:
A car is essential; public transportation is limited here. All spots have free parking, but it fills up fast on weekends—get an early start.
