OutdoorPix- Girl and Dog on the Lake of the Sky
H and Daisy Water Dog, enjoying a glassy Lake Tahoe morning. Stand up Paddleboarding (SUP) has become wildly popular on Lake Tahoe in the last few years. Can’t imagine why.

Despite logging well over 1,000 miles of running and riding on the TRT, there was that one elusive section. We finally knocked it out, racking up close… Read More ›
TahoePix- The sunset you don’t want to see
Many avid outdoors people have had this experience at some point: Watching the sunset when you are miles from your car and hours behind schedule.
