We didn't originally plan to see Lake Tahoe, but we knew it was likely that Tioga Pass would not be open yet and that we would have to navigate around the Sierra Nevadas to head back east. We had a very enjoyable few days in-between major attractions.
I think this lake was called Silver Lake. Still icy.
