The Lake Tahoe Backcountry

The backcountry is one of those places most tourists never go. Some areas are unexplored and rarely ever visited by humans. It’s the place to go to get away from it all… and Lake Tahoe has some of the best backcountry skiing and exploring this country has to offer.

Check out this video of the South Lake Tahoe Backcountry. I know the music is awful… I promise you won’t miss anything if you watch it on mute. Just take a look at the country side and the mountains. Absolutely stunning.

Lake Tahoe UFO’s – You Decide

I was looking through YouTube for some of the latest Lake Tahoe videos when I came across a video title “UFO at Echo Peak in Lake Tahoe.” That definitely caught my interest. Could it be true? I’ll let you watch the video for yourself and let you decide. Skip to about the 1:37 mark for the action.

I’m not quite sure if it’s a UFO. Could be the setting moon for all I know. But I don’t know a lot of strange activity goes on in this part of the country, especially with the secret air force bases close by.

What do you think?

Lake Tahoe Snowmobiling

If you have never been on a snowmobile then you don’t know what you’re missing. We all know it looks fun as hell, but words can’t even describe the adrenaline and excitement you get when on the back of a snowmobile cruising at 30-40 mph in packed powder snow. The weather is rough when snowmobiling, but the rush makes that chill an afterthought.

Lake Tahoe is home to some of the best backcountry snowmobiling in America. There are hundreds of miles of trails, some of which take you on a journey through National Forests while others give you amazing views of the lake. It’s really a can’t miss destination for snowmobiling.

There are two Lake Tahoe snowmobile companies I wanted to highlight in today’s post. There are several other operations, just be sure to check reviews on TripAdvisor or something before booking.

Lake Tahoe Snowmobile Tour Prices
www.laketahoesnowmobilingtours.com
Located in North lake Tahoe. General rates run at about $120 for a 2 hour ride. Of course they do offer private tours and half-day adventures for a lot more money.

Lake Tahoe Adventures
www.laketahoeadventures.com
Located in South Lake Tahoe. They offer scenic tours and off-trail riding. Riders must be at least 15 years-old, call them for pricing details.

Snowmobiling is definitely expensive, but I guarantee you it’s worth every penny. Would you rather spend $300 for a pair of football tickets and 3 hours of yelling at your team or for a 5 hour action packed adventure on a snowmobile? I thought so…
