发帖数: 472 | 19 I never stayed at any Tahoe campground. But I had seen many related
discussions. I just googled 'best tahoe campsite' and found the top three
choices well informative.
Hiking together is a good alternative for all of us to enjoy. Two mild hikes
with the most stunning view I can think of are Christopher loop and
Mountain Tallac at North and South Tahoe respectively.
Recreational cycling is another great way to enjoy tahoe. South West
Tahoe has separate paved bike path in the woods that I saw very

screws on the rear derailleur was not properly adjusted. so the derailleur
went into the spokes in a downshift. and they charged us $40 for it in
addition to a full day rental charge despite the bike worked only for 2
hours. It ruined the whole day for us. I can not believe it. any regulatory
places I can file a complain? and any news paper I can write to to report it
.
