CA Hwy 89 travels north from South Lake Tahoe toward Tahoe City, climbing over the mountain's edge just above scenic Emerald Bay.
Portions of the highway between Emerald Bay and Tahoma may close between mid-November and late February because of snow and danger of avalanches. Check road conditions online, use your smartphone app if you have one or call 800-427-7623 for the latest information.
Also expect road closures and delays between Tahoe City and Camp Richardson on Sunday morning during the Lake Tahoe Marathon, usually held the last weekend in September. Check to see how they might affect you.
