Touring Tahoe (for seniors)
August 19-24
Zephyr Point Sunset
The Tahoe Basin is truly a unique place on this earth, with its windswept peaks, the depths of crystal clear waters, artistic and rich historical culture… During this week of Touring Tahoe, we want to explore this basin in many different ways: geographically, culturally, historically. As we drive through the mountains, you may find your imagination sparked with the hopes and dreams of adventure of those who have called this place home in centuries past.
