Cascade Hike/ Rainbow Trail Hike

We have been home now for almost a week. It is really hard to go back to work because all I really want to do is be home with my wife. We had a blast in South Lake Tahoe. We did a bit of hiking, some horseback riding, some relaxing but most of all we were with each other. Our last day we were there we did the Cascade Lake Trail hike. It is moderate 1 mile stair case hike to a overlook that overlooks Cascade lake. Which is a private lake for the residence. It also gives us spectacular views of Lake Tahoe in the back ground. We took our time on the way out and really enjoyed the views. 


This is right before the hike





Here I am on the left jumping for joy and on the right Rachel is at peace with the view and sun. 


Rachel really wanted to do some rock climbing.

Here I am practicing my JC Penny pose.  


Pretty neat tree


The view without the lake. Any view in Tahoe is beautiful. 


We also went to Taylor Creek visitors center and walked the Rainbow Trail. During early/late October the Salmon are running as it will be spawning season for them. If you are lucky you might get a glimpse of a bear enjoying some fish. 


Unfortunately the Salmon weren't running, but soon. 


We did though see a family of bears. A momma bear and her two cubs. In the middle of the picture you can see the last cub. That was pretty cool. I wonder if that was the same bear I saw last year? We had a great time and I can't wait to go back again.

  1. I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s both equally educative and entertaining, and without a doubt,
    you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something too few folks are speaking intelligently about.
    Now i’m very happy that I stumbled across this in
    my hunt for something concerning this.
