Lake Tahoe is Cool in Summer

Lake Tahoe is a popular summer travel destination, a respite from the heat of the central valley or foggy San Francisco summer evenings. With almost-perfect daytime temperatures and cool nights, it's a great place to go for the weekend. In fact, despite its reputation as a skiing destination, Lake Tahoe is busier in summer than in winter.

Among the fun things you'll find there only in summer is the Tahoe Shakespeare Festival, a pleasant night out even if you're not a big fan of "The Bard."
