Lake Tahoe, August 2024, Part 2

Finally, spotting what I knew had to be the Bonsai Rocks, I worked my way down and along trails to get closer.

These boulders in the edge of Lake Tahoe are obviously a popular destination for kayakers.

If there had not been so many people climbing on and around these rocks, I might have gone down closer to the lake shore and spent more time photographing here, even though the light was harsh for getting the best images.

There were other beach areas that I wanted to visit, but this area in the summer months is much too crowded, and with numerous road construction projects along the route around the lake, getting around was slow and difficult, so I decided now was not a good time to try to get into those areas.

After lunch in North Lake Tahoe, we visited some local shops, where I chatted with a local photographer, who had many beautiful photos of this area and many of Bonsai Rocks at sunset and sunrise.  He said he did not go to Bonsai Rocks in the summer, because there were always too many tourist around.

Here is a link to that photographer’s webpage, where one can see the photographic possibilities in this area:  Bill Stevenson.

This wraps up photography from our August road trip.
