Yes- don't go up to Tahoe without chains -if you have a rental car make sure they are included - this time of year it can snow any time - and we have not had one yet so we overdue - fall colors should be in full swing also. Aspen & willows. - reds & yellows
These are on the back side of the ridge south of lake Tahoe.

Harvey,
If they can't get through Stateline traffic, they can always go back to 395 (maybe via Kingsbury) and down to 88 to 89. I know a good guide up in that area.

Was there in '88. Get tickets for dinner on the "Miss Dixie" paddle wheel boat..think it's still in operation. Takes you around the lake..about a 2 hour ride or so.

We are taking a trip to Reno Nevada in 2 weeks. Are there any suggestions on where to to to take the best pictures at Lake Tahoe?
There is a paddle wheel cruise you can take around the lake that is great. I also recommend Emerald Bay and the hike down to Vikingsholm. Take the drive around around the lake which is very scenic.

There shouldn't be that much traffic up there two weeks from now. The tourist season is pretty much over. And by the way, if he misses the turn and drives to Carson City, he can take photos of our famous train. Lol.

See it from the air. In Pioneer, CA., go to the airport and ask for Ken Couey. He is a flight instructor/commercial pilot that flies out of Pioneer Airport and he knows the area very well. He has a highwing aircraft which is great for photography.

CPL: technical question
I think CPL stands for Circular Polarizer Filter, but I think linear polarizers, such as are used in sunglasses, are what are used in photography. I'm pretty sure circularly polarized light is very rare in nature. Also, these are really filters, not lenses, are they not? Why the term CPL?

One of the best locations on the Lake is the old lighthouse overlooking Emerald Bay. It is a bit of a hike but well worth the effort. It is off the Rubicon trail, just ask the Ranger for directions.

Emerald Bay. Which route are you taking to get there?
Make sure to take the easy hike to the waters edge too.
