From Paddle to Plunge, A Sunset Kayaking Adventure on Lake Tahoe
Golden light coats the largest natural lake in California and blankets the Emerald Range lining the eastern shore of Lake Tahoe. From Pope Beach, looking north across the lake reminds me of being in a cove opening to the ocean. Kristin inflates her Bote kayak and begins the short paddle to her ideal destination during this sunset.

Not far from shore, a pole with a ladder protrudes from Lake Tahoe’s crystal clear water. That is the destination for the evening. A paddle and plunge, at sunset.
