Memorial Point

I continued driving south on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe.

Hwy 28 hugs the shore. The mountains rise sharply.

Through the trees I could catch glimpses of Lake Tahoe shimmering in the afternoon sun.


I stopped at Memorial Point; one of only a few areas with shore access along Hwy 28.



Kiosks helped situate my position. And provided historical information on Lake Tahoe.



I walked a short trail down to the shore.



Lake Tahoe is known for it's lack of turbidity.


The water is exceptionally clear.



Native Americans have been coming to Tahoe's shores for generations.


I found countless grinding holes used for preparing acorn meal.
