If we are ever back that way we will be sure to explore those trails more extensively. In fact up to this point this gallery may have my favourite photos from the vacation (to be topped later on with the Yosemite photos). On day 5 we took it easy, found a quiet mountain road near South Lake Tahoe that has access to a couple trails, had it not been evening we might have hiked a couple of those trails but instead we just drove up and then back down the road stopping for great picture opportunities. There are a few other photos from the area around Truckee California we also took that day. The Cascade Falls would have been more spectacular had it been raining in previous days but we have to take what we can get. The Hike also takes you along side the rock face of a mountain making the sun even more punishing. Its not a long hike, and there isn't a lot of difference in altitude between the start and finish however its over 7000ft up and they don't tell you that through this short hike you go up and down a few times making it a bit harder than expected especially if you're not all that fit like me. On day 4 we explored Leaf Lake, Emerald Bay and took a hike to Cascade Falls with views of Cascade Lake during the hike.
Monday through Friday on Spectrum News 1 and the Spectrum News app.As said before instead of clogging the post/forum with dozens of my choice of photos you can check out the galleries and let me know which photos stand out to you, either by number or posting the link to the photo in your reply.

They will be working on research and cleanups at Donner Lake, Fallen Leaf Lake and Mammoth Lake.Ĭlick the arrow above to watch the full interview. Now that the 72-mile Tahoe project is complete, West and his crew are already working on cleanups in other lakes around California. or my best one was, a guy had his Incline Village District access card from 1979." But some of those fun items were things like a 1980s Nikon film camera. Us just being present at the lake, I think, is one of the biggest impacts … That's the majority of the litter and trash that we're pulling out from under the surface. "Of course, we found some of the typical beer cans, almost 5,000 or more of them, as well as plastics and bottles and construction and debris. West talked about some of the objects they found underneath the surface of Lake Tahoe. I couldn't be more grateful, but it was fun to me." Everyone that was part of this is really gone above and beyond. It was a really difficult, hard project to do. "There were over 189 different dives across 81 days. "We came out and worked over 6,700 cumulative hours together to clean up the lake," said West.
More than 100 people contributed to the cleanup, from trained SCUBA divers to support staff on jet skis and kayaks. We ended up going and launching on May 14, 2021."Ĭlean Up the Lake faced obstacles like COVID-19, the Caldor fire and record-setting snowfall. So did the Nevada Division of State Lands and quite a few other grant giving foundations in the Tahoe basin here as well. "We were talking to Tahoe Fund and Tahoe Blue Vodka, some organizations, and companies here in the area and they came on board to support this project. "We were getting 50 to 100 pounds of trash per diver almost every single time we went out," West said. West and his crew scoured every inch of that perimeter for debris. The sight inspired him to contribute to beach cleanups at his native Lake Tahoe and eventually dive into the lake cleanup. On one of those trips, West noticed the litter covering Belize's beaches.

West formerly worked as a filmmaker, traveling the world shooting wine TV shows and documentaries. Lake Tahoe is one of the most scenic bodies of water in California, but it has a dirty little secret: Divers with Clean Up the Lake recently collected more than 25,000 pounds of trash from its depths.Ĭolin West, founder of Clean Up the Lake, joined host Lisa McRee on "LA Times Today" with more on the massive trash pickup.
