This is a real fun guide book of things to do up in Lake Tahoe. Gabriella lists some of her own hidden gems you will not find in traditional guide books. I used to live on the West Shore in Homewood and I find many places and things to do I did not know about before. I highly recommend this guide book for anyone looking to travel to Lake Tahoe and it is a good book for locals too.

This Lake Tahoe guide was exactly what I needed to plan my trip. It’s clear, practical, and full of great suggestions from someone who clearly knows the area well. I loved how it went beyond just a list of places and gave helpful tips on beaches, hikes, photo spots, and local eats. It made planning so much easier and has inspired me to check out spots I wouldn’t have known otherwise. Highly recommend!
