Another family sold us their spot for this week. If you've ever been here to Fallen leaf you know the breath taking views this lake and it's grounds has to offer. Our campsite was the largest and no one was behind us. Our kids played in a creek nearby. We hiked and ventured to a few waterfalls in Angora while here. It was so sad to see where the fires burned through this area. None of our photos taken here do the grounds any justice. Everything was pristine. I look forward to returning some day. I'm due for some grounding and getting lost in nature.

I visited Lake Kirkwood in August. It's a small pristine High Sierra lake off highway 88 west of…read moreKirkwood Ski Resort. The road from 88 goes to a sandy beach and a lovely 12 site camping area. There are several private summer cabins around the lake which can only be accessed by boat or hiking trail. The trail around the lake is an easy 2 or 3 miles. You can launch a boat, however no motor boats are allowed. Swimming and fishing are OK. Mosquitoes might be a problem in the early summer or evening. There's an old-fashioned Girl Scout camp on the lake that operates for just a couple weeks during the summer.

She even drew maps for me since I wasn't familiar with the area. She almost promised me I'd catch fish at a certain lake, and she came through!

We added some extra distance at the end by hiking to the Marlette Peak Campground to stay for the night. From the parking lot to the campground was about 7 miles each way. The trail itself was well-maintained, moderate difficulty, and had everything you'd want in a good hike! Solid trail conditions. Beautiful mountain and lake views. Some sections of wildflowers. A good amount of sun but also some shaded parts. Gradual incline that never felt super steep, so the elevation gain felt manageable. We saw people hiking as well as mountain biking on this trail. There are several sections of aspen trees along this hike, so it's a great one to come back and do in the fall once the leaves turn yellow. The trailhead area has great facilities, the bathrooms were clean and there is ample parking. The park rangers I spoke to were friendly and helpful. There is a $10/car entry into this area but it's totally worth it, especially when you see how well they take care of it. I loved this hike and will continue to come back to Spooner for hikes in the future!

It's a 9 mile out and back with fairly gradual elevation gain, up through the trees, until you reach the lake. A great little workout. Marlette sits along the Flume Trail, so you're likely to see a lot of mountain bikers. Fun fact: The Flume Trail got its name because Marlette and the tributaries that feed it were part of a log flume system to carry logs used to build our region all the way down from as far as Virginia City! Marlette has a short fishing season, but people say it's grand if you make the trip. Of course you need to hike in to have that experience. This is definitely a trail worth checking out in our area!

Brett was extremely knowledgeable about Tahoe and its history, which added a unique and educational element to our adventure. The pontoon boat provided ample space for our crew of 9, making it a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Booking online was a breeze, and Brett was super responsive and responsible. Great with kids too! We brought our lunch and were able to eat and drink on the boat without any issues. Brett also had paddleboards and even filled up a fun tube-like chair for us to be towed behind the boat. It was amazing! The water was stunning, and we had the best experience overall. We will definitely request Brett again for our future trips. Thanks, Captain Brett, for an amazing time on beautiful Lake Tahoe. You rock!
