Bonsai Rock at sunset, Lake Tahoe, Nevada<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lake Tahoe is a land of superlatives. Straddling the border of California and Nevada at over 6,000 feet, it’s the deepest alpine lake in North America and second only to Crater Lake in overall depth. \u00a0It also has the largest volume of any lake in the United States behind the Great Lakes. \u00a0By day, the crystal clear waters of this mountain oasis entice with a\u00a0cerulean hue that sparkles like a jewel\u00a0amid the surrounding peaks. \u00a0But dusk and dawn have a special quality all their own for\u00a0photography or just soaking up the magic hour experience.<\/p>\n

Bonsai Rock shown here has become an icon of the lake, and the partially submerged boulders surrounding it make this a wonderful destination at sunset. \u00a0Located on the northern Nevada side not far from Sand Harbor State Park, it’s a bit tricky to find but well worth the short hike down from the road (providing you find parking along the narrow highway, and have a headlamp for the return). \u00a0The wind really sets the mood here for photography as it can be strong or non-existent, but a long shutter softens the scene when the lake is restless and adds to the timeless feeling of this beautiful location.<\/p>\n
