Tahoe Day 1: rain and clouds, Martis Peak

Nov 22

We left Berkeley at 6AM Saturday morning. It was raining pretty heavily our entire drive up to Tahoe and I was starting to feel a little disappointed that we may not be able to do any long hikes... It did stop raining for a while, so we made our first stop at King's Beach. It was still incredibly windy.

We hiked to Martis Peak later when the wind died down. It was raining a bit and the roads were muddy, but it was a fun hike. In fact, it was raining for the last 30 minutes of our hike :)

Finally reached the top!

Great first day.

8 mile round trip hike.

Headed to a cabin owned by Sean's friend later and got to be super comfortable again! We cooked amazing food (lots of salmon), drank wine, and talked over dessert. There's nothing better than relaxing after a long day of hiking, especially since we know that we'll be doing this again tomorrow ;)
