This serene meadow is located near Lake Tahoe's south shore. The sun is setting behind Mt. Tallac, one of Tahoe's highest peaks, with an elevation of nearly 10k feet.
Order PrintsThe breathtakingly blue of Lake Tahoe is so clear that in some places objects can be seen to depths of 75 feet. The reason the lake is so blue is that the thin, clear mountain air allows the lake's pure, crystalline water to reflect the blue sky above. The lake can also appear red during sunsets or gray-black during storms. Lake Tahoe is 22 miles in length, 12 miles in width and has a max depth of 1,645 feet!
