There are so many real issues we face as a city and significant problems we must solve. But not today!
Today, this week, this month, this season is all about the fun. It’s summer in Tahoe and the weather is glorious.
Take off your shoes and run in the sand. See how far you can walk out into the lake before your feet tingle with the cold. Grab your beach chair and a book. Ride a jet ski or a mountain bike. Hike a forested trail the ends in an amazing vista. Find a hidden waterfall or cove. Watch nature unfold in all its glory.

The League to Save Lake Tahoe is partnering with the U.S. Forest Service this summer for two community beach clean-up days around Lake Tahoe. Volunteers will be helping to clean-up our beautiful beaches. Keeping Tahoe clean and blue is a year round effort and we need the help of residents and visitors alike.

Join K&K Services on Thursday for its 14th annual 5th of July Volunteer Beach Cleanup. Beginning at 6 a.m. volunteers will pick up what everyone else left behind after the fireworks show. The cleanup begins on El Dorado Beach and then moves along to Regan Beach. According to organizer Kenny Curtzwiler, the cleanup usually yields about 40 yards of trash. El Dorado Beach is located on Highway 50 at Lakeview Avenue. The community is invited. Bring gloves.
