A Glorious Day on the Trail! - Jen was a most informative, hospitable, and personable guide along the trails at Emerald Bay State Park😊 The aerial views of the lake, bay, and surrounding woods from the trails were absolutely stunning! I appreciate her enthusiasm and knowledge as a guide and photographer, not to mention the delightful picnic of snacks including nuts, freeze dried strawberries, and hot chocolate. Thank you again, for the lovely experience and recommendations for future hiking venues in Lake Tahoe🥰
