Kayaking on Donner Lake

Today, we decided to visit Truckee and the nearby Donner Lake to enjoy the last remnants of late summer at Lake Tahoe. The day was sunny and warm but became overcast in the afternoon, with a light shower.

The beach around Donner Lake was nearly empty, and few people were around.


Alex and Sasha did a few rounds of kayaking on Donner Lake. The water was cold, but they did not mind and had much fun.

Here is a short video of their kayaking:







Inna and Alla also got to try out the ocean. They got caught in a light shower on the lake but didn't mind. Inna went swimming in the cold lake afterward.




We went for a short hike around the lake, covering the flat ground with many pines.



The trail was not asphalted, so Alex could not ride his scooter.



After the hike, we returned to our residence for dinner.


Eggs sunny side up coming right up.


Alex, little Sasha, and Liza enjoyed the hot tub.

We decided to try mountain biking from Squaw Valley to Lake Tahoe along the paved bike path nearby. The path follows the Truckee River, and we enjoyed the beautiful Lake Tahoe National Forest.




A few people were rafting down the Truckee River. It seemed shallow in places.
