If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I spent a weekend in Lake Tahoe to celebrate my best friend Brooke’s birthday a couple weeks ago. It was so much fun! I really loved it because it’s so different than anything I do when I travel. As you have probably noticed, I typically choose tropical or city destinations. Lake Tahoe is a total mountain town with tons of outdoor activities – and we did them all! It was such a breath of fresh air and a really amazing trip with a very fun group!

The first thing we did was go hiking up a mountain to a waterfall. According to my health app, I walked 5.5 miles that day – mostly on a mountain! First, we crossed the state line from California into Nevada. It’s was pretty cool to be in two states at once! After a mile or two, we finally reached the pretty waterfall. And the view was absolutely breathtaking! Definitely worth the hike.

Our next adventure was horseback riding at Zephyr Cove Stables. It was just $50 per person for an hour of riding. And it was incredible!!! It was my first time riding a horse and I am totally hooked. It was so much fun and I felt so free! Again, the views were absolutely breathtaking. The hour flew by! Our ride was very easy, we all just walked in a line, so it was the perfect first experience. Snowball and I totally vibed. I think she knew I picked her, hehe. This was totally my favorite activity we did during the trip!

Finally, we went on a stunning sunset cruise on Lake Tahoe, complete with unlimited booze and appetizers. The boat, the Safari Rose, was perfect and they even provided blankets for everyone who was sitting outside! It was a little chilly outside, but totally worth it for the experience. We sat inside and were nice and toasty though!

In addition to all the outdoor activities, there are also a ton of casinos in South Lake Tahoe. We stayed at the Marriott right in the center of all the action. It was the ideal location! Some restaurants we enjoyed were Basecamp Pizza, Riva Grill, and Azul Latin Kitchen. Shout out to Ashten for hooking it up with all the best recommendations!
