À quoi s'attendre
1
Lake Tahoe
As the audio guides play commentary based on your gps location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route to match your interests and schedule. Or you can use our trip planners for our suggestions on half, full or multi day itineraries. Some of the many highlights are listed below;
2
Donner Pass
Donner Pass is the site of a key passage through the Sierra Nevada range, and as such has witnessed some epic moments in American history, ranging from the tragic fate of the Donner Party to the construction of both the first transcontinental railroad and transcontinental highway. Visiting options at the Donner Pass area include the Donner Memorial State Park and Lake which is home to an engaging museum, or keep driving up the old highway to see the remnants of the original railway tunnels blasted out by Chinese immigrants, ancient petroglyphs, and several scenic viewpoints.
3
Tahoe East Shore Trail
Completed in 2019, the gorgeous East Shore Trail runs for three miles between Incline Village and Sand Harbor, offering easy access to 11 semi-wild beaches and 17 vista points as it meanders through Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park. The trail is paved and wide, making it bicycle, wheelchair and pedestrian friendly. And if you'd like to visit Hidden Beach (one of the more peaceful spots in North Tahoe to enjoy the sunset), walking or cycling from here is the only option. At the trail's terminus is Sand Harbor State Park, where you can rent kayaks and stand-up paddleboards.
4
Emerald Bay State Park
Castles, waterfalls, and beaches, oh my! Whatever your fancy, you’ll be sure to find it at Tahoe’s most popular park. This stunning glacier-carved cove has one photogenic vista after another and is the most photograph location around Lake Tahoe. Admire Tahoe’s only island, Fanette, from Inspiration Point; or idly floating on an SUP while soaking up some rays, you can’t go wrong. One of Emerald Bay’s most unique sights is the maritime heritage underwater trail for snorkelers and divers, which passes the wrecks of various barges and boats beneath the surface. Hikers can take in the famous Rubicon Trail, Lower Eagle Falls, Upper Eagle Falls, and Eagle Lake in the Desolation Wilderness. This can be a busy location and an early arrival improves your chances of scoring a close-by parking spot.
5
Gatekeeper's Museum
The Gatekeeper's Museum in Tahoe City has two main collections: a collection of Native basketry, and a small display related to the 1960 Winter Olympics. The 270 handwoven baskets, most of which date from the turn of the twentieth century, range from Arizona to British Columbia, exhibiting an array of traditional designs. Just next to the Gatekeeper’s Museum is Fanny Bridge, which crosses Lake Tahoe’s only outlet: the Truckee River. Fanny Bridge originally got its name from - you guessed it - the backsides of all those tourists peering over the bridge at the trout in the Truckee River! And we'll enjoy scenic views of the pretty Tahoe Dam from this location.
6
Rubicon Trail
Following the shoreline between Emerald Bay State Park and DL Bliss State Park, the Rubicon is often named Tahoe’s best hike. You can link up all sorts of sights along the way, from the Vikingsholm Mansion and Lower Eagle Falls in Emerald Bay to a ruined 1916 lighthouse in DL Bliss. If you set up a car shuttle (parking can be a challenge), you can just do the hike one-way (4.5 miles). If not, you’ll need to hike round trip, which is a total of 9 miles, but the elevation change is not like a true mountain hike.
7
Tallac Historic Site
Get a taste of the lifestyles of San Francisco’s rich and famous... one hundred years in the past. Three vacation homes - the Baldwin, the Pope, and the Valhalla -stand amid towering old growth trees on Tahoe’s south shore. At the turn of the 20th century, a casino, ballroom, croquet courts, and steamer cruises kept well-heeled guests entertained. During the summer months you can tour the mansions or catch a concert en plein air, but the grounds remain open throughout the year and always make for an interesting stroll. Nearby is the public Kiva Beach, with fabulous views of the Desolation Wilderness beyond.

Lac Tahoe
Au fur et à mesure que les audioguides diffusent des commentaires en fonction de votre position GPS, vous pouvez créer votre propre itinéraire le long de l'itinéraire de la visite en fonction de vos intérêts et de votre emploi du temps. Ou vous pouvez utiliser nos planificateurs de voyage pour nos suggestions d'itinéraires d'une demi-journée, d'une journée complète ou de plusieurs jours. Certains des nombreux faits saillants sont énumérés ci-dessous;
16
Donner Pass
Donner Pass est le site d'un passage clé à travers la chaîne de montagnes de la Sierra Nevada et, à ce titre, a été témoin de moments épiques de l'histoire américaine, allant du destin tragique du Donner Party à la construction du premier chemin de fer transcontinental et de l'autoroute transcontinentale. Les options de visite dans la région de Donner Pass incluent le Donner Memorial State Park et le lac qui abrite un musée attrayant, ou continuez à remonter l'ancienne autoroute pour voir les vestiges des tunnels ferroviaires d'origine détruits par les immigrants chinois, d'anciens pétroglyphes et plusieurs points de vue panoramiques.
17
Sentier Tahoe East Shore
Achevé en 2019, le magnifique sentier East Shore s'étend sur trois miles entre Incline Village et Sand Harbor, offrant un accès facile à 11 plages semi-sauvages et 17 points de vue alors qu'il serpente à travers le parc d'État du lac Tahoe Nevada. Le sentier est pavé et large, ce qui le rend adapté aux vélos, aux fauteuils roulants et aux piétons. Et si vous souhaitez visiter Hidden Beach (l'un des endroits les plus paisibles de North Tahoe pour profiter du coucher de soleil), la marche ou le vélo à partir d'ici est la seule option. Au terminus du sentier se trouve le parc d'État de Sand Harbor, où vous pouvez louer des kayaks et des planches à pagaie debout.
18
Parc d'État d'Emerald Bay
Châteaux, cascades et plages, oh mon dieu ! Quelle que soit votre fantaisie, vous serez sûr de la trouver dans le parc le plus populaire de Tahoe. Cette magnifique crique sculptée par les glaciers offre une vue photogénique après l'autre et est l'endroit le plus photographié autour du lac Tahoe. Admirez la seule île de Tahoe, Fanette, depuis Inspiration Point; ou flotter paresseusement sur un SUP tout en profitant des rayons du soleil, vous ne pouvez pas vous tromper. L'un des sites les plus uniques d'Emerald Bay est le sentier sous-marin du patrimoine maritime pour les plongeurs et les plongeurs, qui passe les épaves de diverses barges et bateaux sous la surface. Les randonneurs peuvent emprunter le célèbre sentier Rubicon, Lower Eagle Falls, Upper Eagle Falls et Eagle Lake dans le Desolation Wilderness. Cela peut être un endroit très fréquenté et une arrivée anticipée améliore vos chances de trouver une place de stationnement à proximité.
19
Musée du Gardien
Le Gatekeeper's Museum de Tahoe City possède deux collections principales : une collection de vannerie autochtone et une petite exposition liée aux Jeux olympiques d'hiver de 1960. Les 270 paniers tissés à la main, dont la plupart datent du début du XXe siècle, s'étendent de l'Arizona à la Colombie-Britannique et présentent un éventail de motifs traditionnels. Juste à côté du Gatekeeper's Museum se trouve le Fanny Bridge, qui traverse le seul exutoire du lac Tahoe : la rivière Truckee. Fanny Bridge tire à l'origine son nom - vous l'avez deviné - des fesses de tous ces touristes qui regardent par-dessus le pont les truites de la rivière Truckee ! Et nous profiterons d'une vue panoramique sur le joli barrage de Tahoe depuis cet endroit.
20
Sentier Rubicon
Suivant le littoral entre Emerald Bay State Park et DL Bliss State Park, le Rubicon est souvent désigné comme la meilleure randonnée de Tahoe. Vous pouvez relier toutes sortes de sites en cours de route, du manoir Vikingsholm et des chutes Lower Eagle à Emerald Bay à un phare en ruine de 1916 à DL Bliss. Si vous installez une navette de voiture (le stationnement peut être un défi), vous pouvez simplement faire la randonnée à sens unique (4,5 miles). Sinon, vous devrez faire une randonnée aller-retour, soit un total de 9 miles, mais le changement d'altitude ne ressemble pas à une véritable randonnée en montagne.
21
Site historique de Tallac
Découvrez les modes de vie des riches et célèbres de San Francisco... cent ans dans le passé. Trois maisons de vacances - le Baldwin, le Pape et le Valhalla - se dressent au milieu d'arbres centenaires imposants sur la rive sud de Tahoe. Au tournant du 20e siècle, un casino, une salle de bal, des terrains de croquet et des croisières en bateau à vapeur divertissaient les clients bien nantis. Pendant les mois d'été, vous pouvez visiter les manoirs ou assister à un concert en plein air, mais les terrains restent ouverts toute l'année et constituent toujours une promenade intéressante. A proximité se trouve la plage publique de Kiva, avec une vue fabuleuse sur la Desolation Wilderness au-delà.

We took an abbreviated tour—didn’t go all around the lake and we were already in South Lake Tahoe so we joined the tour after the suggested starting points. To be fair, what we heard was great info but there was not a way we could turn the volume up and we could hardly hear the narration. It may have to do with the connections in my car since newer cars don’t have the cigarette lighter connections anymore so I just used my iPhone and the usb cable that connects me to Bluetooth. I couldn’t access the maps easily either.

Hi Doreen, thank you for choosing our audio tour to explore Lake Tahoe. Did you try listening to the audio tour only from your phone (without usb or bluetooth) or only with Bluetooth (disconnecting the usb cable)? Bluetooth doesn't require a usb connection, and it sounds like being connected to the vehicle both ways was the cause of your volume issues. If you ever need assistance on the road, we have a detailed Help menu available in the app that is available offline, or our support team is just a call away if you're in cell service (1866-477-4171). We hope to join you on the road again soon.

We enjoyed the Audio tour around Lake Tahoe. We heard many interesting facts about the lake and surrounding area. We have been to Lake Tahoe many times and still learned many new facts. We would have liked to have heard more such as something about Fannette Island and Capt Barter or maybe Cave Rock and how the tunnel came to be. Perhaps these were mentioned but we found that if we did not pay attention and click on the blue dots we missed some information. The narration did not always play.

Hi Mark, thanks for taking the time to share how much you enjoyed listening to our audio tour around Lake Tahoe and how much you learned from the guide. The audio tour plays automatically as you drive through each audio point that points in the same direction that you're driving, with no need to manually click the audio points (you'll find more information in the 'Help' menu but usually if there's an issue with the audio points playing, it's due to a connection with the USB port of the vehicle which is why we recommend using bluetooth for audio, and charging through the DC/cigarette lighter outlet). Please don't hesitate to contact our support team on 1866-477-4171 for any assistance next time.
