Lake Tahoe Day 2: snowy Sunday

 

 

We were headed to the top of Squaw Valley... What welcomed us was a sign that said "no hiking." Hah

Yup, it was steep. I was the lagger :(

Best part of the hike. Not only because of the beauty and the solitude, but also because my calves were finally able to rest

You can see one of the 5 lakes from afar!

Deep snow is still better than the ice I slipped on 

This ended up being a ~13 mile round trip hike with a ~3000 feet elevation gain (according to Strava), which isn't too bad, since the first few miles of the hike were quite flat.
