Lake Tahoe camping

The campsite view of the Lake

So, we went to Emerald Bay in Lake Tahoe for camping 2 nights, hiking, sit at beach, watching fireworks shooting in five different sites around the lake.. The traffic is terrible from SF to the lake, normal drive should be 3-4 hours, but we drove like 6 hours to get to the place, same heavy traffic when we came back at 5th, but overall, it's worth to see the views, the mountain, the snow, the trees, the water and the fireworks..

It's me relaxing with cup of coffee in the morning to see the quiet lake Tahoe. At day time, this Emerald Bay water just like a heavy high way, super noisy with soooo many boats, jet skies in and out of the little bay.

People are here waiting for the night time fireworks, they stay here all day on 4th of July, we are one of them, came to the site at 10am wait for 9:40pm fireworks, but it really WORTH the wait, will come again next year.

This is near Eagle Lake trail, so beautiful I took this picture every time I come hike here...

Can not believe the lake is so calm...
