Lake Tahoe Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia (4K)
Filled with over 39 trillion gallons of pure Sierra snowmelt and pushed a mile into the Californian and Nevada skies, Lake Tahoe is the USA’s largest alpine lake and one of the country’s oldest, year-round vacation playgrounds.
Lake Tahoe has forever drawn travellers to its shores, from the Native Americans who call this place Big Water, to the trappers, timber cutters and pioneers who followed.
When you’re ready for a little alpine magic, take the four-hour drive from San Francisco to the sunlit shores of Kings Beach. Set on Tahoe’s northern end, this beach was named after local card shark, Joe King, who used his winnings to develop some of the lake’s earliest lodgings. On the lake’s southern shore, is Pope Beach, where you’ll find another Tahoe institution, Camp Richardson.
From Pope Beach follow the bike path to the Taylor Creek Visitor Center. An open-air classroom for the entire family, the center features fabulous interpretative walks such as the Rainbow Trail.
Nearby, at DL Bliss State Park, follow the spectacular Rubicon Trail into neighboring Emerald Bay State Park. This park is home to the Eagle Falls Trail, a moderate two-mile hike that takes in some of the Sierra high country’s finest views.
When the ponderosa pines bend with the season’s first snow, Tahoe transforms into the nation’s favorite winter playground. Whether you’re looking for snow-capped peaks or crystal clear coves, places to bond with loved ones or pockets of pure solitude, The Lake in the Sky has it all.
Circle R Ranch, Aspen, CO - Craig Morris, Andrew Ernemann Sotheby's International Realty
Circle R Ranch is a 244 acre ranch situated in the Woody Creek valley in central Colorado. Though extremely private and pristine, Circle R is within close proximity to the world-class, year-round resort of Aspen, Colorado.
The design and development of Circle R makes it the perfect candidate for a family compound or corporate retreat. Boasting a total of 10 homesites, three of which remain undeveloped awaiting potential additions by the next fortunate owner, the existing buildings include rustic historic cabins, eclectic and charming single family homes, agricultural structures and barns, and accommodating storage facilities. There are 6 separate single family homes with a total of 22 bedrooms, 18 baths and 5 half baths.
With the benefit of abundant open space, quintessential mountain activities abound right outside your door. Whether the attraction is snowmobiling, four-wheeling, horseback riding, cross country skiing or snowshoeing, the fact that one need not leave this one of a kind compound adds to its convenience and livability. If 244 private acres are not enough, immediately adjacent to the ranch is an endless National Forest offering more area than one could possibly explore.
Though rustic and unpretentious, the ranch features state-of-the-art qualities and creature comforts to make the perfect retreat now and well into the future. An exceptional infrastructure is in place with all utilities – fiber optics, electricity, telephones, television, propane, etc. – planned with foresight and adaptability to accommodate changes with future technological improvements, and all underground to preserve the beauty and integrity of the natural landscape. To keep the inviting outdoor spaces looking their best, along with the nearly 500 evergreens in the private tree farm, senior water rights accompany the ranch. An on-site fire suppression system complete with strategically located fire hydrants offer security and peace of mind. In keeping with the ranch lifestyle, Circle R maintains its agricultural status with irrigated hay fields in the lower portion of the ranch resulting in beneficial tax advantages.
Years of planning and improving the ranch has always been undertaken with an eye toward respect for, and the result of, being good stewards of this unique and beautiful area. With its Old West charm, unspoiled land, plentiful activities, modern conveniences, and easy access, the individual qualities and amenities of Circle R Ranch collectively represent one of the last great opportunities to own a piece of Colorado not easily duplicated.

Bride Killed in Helicopter Crash (Warning: Distressing Footage)
Warning: This is a distressing video. A video has been released showing a helicopter crash that killed four people on board a helicopter en-route to a wedding (December, 2016). The 32-year-old bride, Rosemere do Nascimento, had planned to surprise her fiancé Udirley Damasceno, who was waiting at the altar when the chopper crash landed a mile from the reception venue in a rural area on the outskirts of Sao Paulo in Brazil.
While it's *generally* unfair to speculate, the R44 piston machine was in what clearly appears to be IMC. Watch what happens to the aggressive bank around the 1:42 min mark before control is lost. It was careless flying.
All occupants (including a pregnant photopgrapher, Nayla Cristina Neves) were killed.
