3 places found.

  1. Mono Lake State Reserve

    A massive saline lake in the sierras, Mono Lake has no outlet and is the natural collection point for all of the salts and minerals that wash down out of the mountains. This high mineral concentration has over the many years formed giant tufa, or calcium carbonate spires that jut up out of the lake like stalagmites.

  2. Taylor Creek Visitor Center

    The Visitor Center, located in South Lake Tahoe on Hwy 89, is operated by the National Forest Service. It has an easy self-guided nature walk and a stream profile room where you actually view Taylor Creek from below the level of the creek.

  3. Sand Harbor

    Sand Harbor is quite possibly the most picturesque spot on Lake Tahoe. It is located on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe and is part of the Nevada State Parks system.
