    This place is located on the Nevada side of beautiful Lake Tahoe. This spot has been a traditional Christian conference area for many years.

  3. Taylor Creek Visitor Center

    The Visitor Center, located in South Lake Tahoe on Hwy 89, is operated by the National Forest Service. It has an easy self-guided nature walk and a stream profile room where you actually view Taylor Creek from below the level of the creek.

  4. Sand Harbor

    Sand Harbor is quite possibly the most picturesque spot on Lake Tahoe. It is located on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe and is part of the Nevada State Parks system.

  5. Killarney National Park

    One of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Many people think of the western coast when they think of Ireland, rocky and deserted, but I think of Killarney, wooded and mossy with black lakes and stone bridges, and deserted abbeys.

  6. Crater Lake

    Crater Lake is located within Crater Lake National Park in Oregon, and is the deepest lake in the United States, and the 7th deepest in the world at 1,943 feet deep. It has no inlets or outlets, and was formed when Mount Mazama erupted 7,700 years ago.

  7. The Salton Sea

    At 376 square miles the Salton Sea is the largest lake in California, and at an average of 51 feet, it is rather shallow. it is also, like nearby Death Valley, below sea level.

  8. Mono Lake State Reserve

    A massive saline lake in the sierras, Mono Lake has no outlet and is the natural collection point for all of the salts and minerals that wash down out of the mountains. This high mineral concentration has over the many years formed giant tufa, or calcium carbonate spires that jut up out of the lake like stalagmites.

  9. Lake Como

    Toward the end of summer 2007, the sun set over Lake Como, a little body of water on the border of Spring Lake and Lake Como adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean on the Jersey Shore. The water fowl are diverse and offer peaceful moments within a stones throw of the Atlantic Ocean.

  10. Burlington Bay Beach

    A beautiful stone beach on the north side of Two Harbors, MN. Its a little off the beaten path, but it provides a great view of the lake.
