Me: Our good friend, Kata flew in for the weekend! She got in late last night (6/26) & today we got up early to mountain bike.
Of course I took her on my favorite Tahoe ride!
It starts with a 2 hour climb that reaches Marlette Peak & Marlette Lake lookout. We ate snacks here, took in the view & felt thankful for strong legs to take us to places like this.
The climb was rewarded with a lot of downhill.
We eventually popped out on the famous Flume Trail & rode this single track along the mountain's edge. The Flume Trail has amazing lake views!
Love this pic of Kata with Sand Harbor below.
We had a beautiful sunny day & the trails to ourselves (it pays to get up early)!
There are a couple tricky sections on The Flume. Nice riding, Kata!
One more pic of Sand Harbor…
One more pic of Kata...
One more pic of us & we were off to meet Bob for some swimming.
Total bike fun: 4 hours
Thanks to Bob for scouting out some cool swimming spots.
Here's Kata & Bob climbing rocks to get there. Yep, Bob has his sling on. :-/
Here we are!
Jump, Kata!
My turn!
The chilly water was refreshing! That is Bonzai Rock behind Kata. We've noticed it's featured on many Tahoe postcards & paintings.
We spent a few hours here & at another beach before doing some sightseeing by car.
Those pics tomorrow :-)
You really pack in a lot of activities in a short period of time...so nice that Kata could visit for the week end....again beautiful pics!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Glad she made the long trip for just 2 days. We did pack in a lot.
