太浩湖一日游 Lake Tahoe Day Trip

~ 2017的春天，我又在美国 ~

02/04/2017

今年的美国行我选择走比较轻松的路线，在美国呆了三个星期的Business Trip，我只在周末到附近走走，多是一日游。第一个Day Trip，约了几位同事开车到加州的太浩湖，由于属于高山地带，四月天的太浩湖还是冷冷的，山脉上还是盖满白白的积雪。

一早开车往太浩湖的南部，沿途风景真是漂亮，连绵山脉，走走停停的一路往太浩湖开去。

This year I spent 3 weeks in United State for business trip, every weekend I went for a day trip to a place nearby. The first place I been was Lake Tahoe. Due to high altitude, spring of Lake Tahoe still full of snow, pretty cold.

越是靠近目的地，越是白雪覆盖的雪山，美丽的风景就在路上。

The scenery on the way are beautiful.

渐渐的，太浩湖就在眼前！

Getting closer to Lake Tahoe!

太浩湖又译作塔霍湖，位于美国加利福尼亚州和内华达州边界，在内华达州首府卡森城以西约10英里的地方。它是北美最大的高山湖泊。深501公尺，是美国第二深的湖泊。湖旁边有一个名叫翡翠湾的小湖（Emerald Bay），是人工挖通的。之所以命名为翡翠湾，它的水的颜色是绿色的。湖泊蓄水量为150.68249立方千米，蓄水量全世界排名第26位。海拔1,897公尺。

太浩湖是一个著名的度假区，它周围坐落著許多滑雪場，露營地和游览景點。高山和湖泊一年四季都吸引著许多游客参观。太浩湖靠近內华达州边界的地段还有很多大型赌场。（参考自维基百科）

Lake Tahoe is a large freshwater lake in the Sierra Nevada of the United States. Lying at 6,225 ft (1,897 m), it straddles the border between California and Nevada, west of Carson City. Lake Tahoe is the largest alpine lake in North America, and at 122,160,280 acre·ft (150,682,490 dam3) trails only the five Great Lakes as the largest by volume in the United States. Its depth is 1,645 ft (501 m), making it the second deepest in the United States after Crater Lake in Oregon (1,945 ft (593 m)).

Lake Tahoe is a major tourist attraction in both Nevada and California. It is home to winter sports, summer outdoor recreation, and scenery enjoyed throughout the year. Snow and ski resorts are a significant part of the area's economy and reputation. The Nevada side also offers large casinos, with highways providing year-round access to the entire area.

天啊！这里漂亮得太不科学了！那蓝蓝的天，白白的云，蔚蓝的湖面，我是在画里吗？！？

Wow! This place is awesome, it looks like a painting!

我们在这里呆了好久，懒洋洋的周末，就是要在这样的地方过！

We spent a lot of time here, relaxing...

从太浩湖的南部往左开，沿着太浩湖的西岸一直往上开，看见美丽的风景就停下，最喜欢这种轻松自在的Road Trip。

From south of Lake Tahoe, turn left and drive along the lake, just stop by anytime you like, this is why i love Road Trip.

太浩湖有许多漂亮的步道，有时间的朋友可以走走看，而我们只是一日游，所以也只能闲逛。来到彩虹步道 Rainbow Trail，牌子上所写的，都没看见啦！第一，靠近小河的步道都给水淹没了，实在走不过去。第二，水底水族馆也貌似关闭了很久，所有设备都乱七八糟的，这方面应该要改进一下，总觉得美国的旅游业没做得很好，太可惜了。

There are plenty of walking and hiking trail around the lake area, we stopped by at Rainbow Trail, all the facility here was not well maintain, so sad to see such a situation.

还好大自然还是很漂亮！

Luckily the nature view still stunning!

可是要小心野熊出没，当然还有其他的野生动物。

Beware of wild life.

这里太漂亮了，拼命的拍照！

This place is stunning, take more photo please!

沿着湖走，就会来到太浩湖最著名的翡翠湾（Emerald Bay），翡翠湾除了美丽的湖景之外，最特别之处就是必须开过一条高海拔的山路才可以到翡翠湾，山路两边都是高高的悬崖，悬崖下就是两座湖，不但景色优美，也很惊险刺激，胆量较差的都没办法开过去。

Continue to drive along the lake, you will reach the very famous spot of Lake Tahoe, Emerald Bay. To get to Emerald Bay, you need to drive through a road between two lakes, which is pretty scary.
