Emerald Bay, Tahoe. July 25, 2008

On the 2nd day, we went for the emerald bay the first thing in the morning.
The water is pristine - it was almost like blue jade with shimmers.






We then walked the 2 mile trail leading to the Vikingstolm. There was some elevation change and Billy whined, but the view was definitely worthing the trip.




The end of the trail was the beach.

And of course, the Vikingstolm.



The small island in emerald bay - the only island on lake tahoe.


We didn't see many seagulls, but there was an amazing large number of Bluejay colony.
