North Lake Tahoe

Last week was my 33rd birthday and we celebrated it by going camping to the North Lake Tahoe area. We left Friday morning and came back on Monday.

Our days in Tahoe were filled with lots of hiking, lots of time on the hammock, lots of reading, and a lot of hanging out by the fire, surrounded by gorgeous pine forests. I like camping for my birthday but, since it's in the middle of the hottest month of the year, I have to choose my campground wisely. Experience has taught me that camping at altitude gives you a well-needed respite from the August heat. This year, our campground, Mount Rose Campground, sat an an awesome 9,000 feet above sea level!

Here are some photos from our time in Tahoe. Soon, I'll post photos from our day trip to Squaw Valley but, in the meantime, enjoy these shots! For more fun photos, check my Etsy store, or visit my website.
