Tahoe with the Fam, Part One... Rubicon Trail

Tahoe is a family tradition that dates back well before I was born.  My Grandma and Dad have an old cabin  that they like to try to spend some time at a few weeks durring the summer. 

This year, the whole family was able to go... and by whole, I mean us, my sister and Brian, my Mom, Dad, and Grandma!  (No, we all couldn't sleep at the cabin)

I think it was the first day of our trip, we decided to find a trail and soak in a little nature.  We drove for awhile to a place we *thought* would be good, but it ended up being closed.  Other places had parking lots filled with cars.  We finally turned into a very random campground area and asked if there was any place to hike/walk in the area...there was one just a ways back into the grounds... and so we found the Rubicon Trail.


 It was nothing crazy difficult, a decent hike for a family with kids... however it was basically on the side of a mountain with some very daunting cliffs over the side. Beautiful, yet a slight sense of danger. 




 Apparently, we were hiking to this hut-like lookout point, and then we were to head back.  I am sure there was some history there, but I totally forget why it was there. 
 Taking a water break.  Doesn't my hubby look so thrilled that I am documenting the event? ;-)
Fun adventures in Tahoe!
