The first stop of the day was at Emerald Bay and we took the steep walk down to Vikingsholm, a Scandinavian "Castle" built as a summer house in 1929, and decided against doing the tour and instead took a walk to the waterfall.
After heading back to the car we drove slowly around the lake, stopping at viewpoints and just enjoying the drive before heading back past Sand Harbor and into Tahoe City.
Our dinner choice was mexican at Hacienda del Lago, where the food was tasty and plentiful, the view was good, but the service was rushed.
