Living in the Bay Area, you may think you know Tahoe. But have you seen the lineup at the South Shore this summer?

Here's a sample itinerary ready-made for your next vacation:

Start things off: Hike 2 miles, passing a waterfall, to Eagle Lake, a high alpine oasis surrounded by granite peaks. (Find more hikes here.)

Cool down: Rent a kayak, try parasailing, or just lounge at the beach.

Be entertained: Much Ado About Something! See a Shakespeare play in the great outdoors—the lake is the backdrop (July 11 – August 23).

Tahoe Treasure Hunt: It's a geocaching extravaganza! Bring your own GPS or rent one for the 4th annual South Shore Lake Tahoe Geocaching High Tech Treasure Hunt on June 13 – 14. 100 caches are up for grabs. Cach-ing!

Where should you stay? Check out accommodations (including dog-friendly options) ranging from plush condos, to cozy cabins, to charming hotels. Don't miss the Cool Deals; they book fast!
