Very poorly made video

[@mreppen1]

My wife and I drove to Tahoe from Orange County, CA in July. We both have cancer and are in our 60’s, the elevation and altitude is a problem, but that place is pure heaven. Spent three days in the heat. I hope it extends our life.

[@luckyalan2651]

I hope for the best of well you too

My niece and her husband visited there this past summer. She raved about Lake Tahoe. Her photos pale in comparison to your video. Thanks for the video!

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks for sharing!

[@rephaelrechitzky9763]

Wow, that is beautiful. It really looks like your own private lake. Thank you for sharing.

I’m used to watching your New York City videos, imagine my surprise when I saw that you’ve come to Lake Tahoe. Great video. Thanks!

[@SarahFunky]

The Lake Tahoe wander home looks amazing! I want to stay there soon. Tahoe is such a fun spot!

[@HereBeBarr]

It really is! Can't wait to see your trip.

[@CathyS_Bx]

So happy to see Lake Tahoe and environs looking so wonderful, considering the awful fires that plagued the area last summer. What a perfect getaway!

Jon, nicely done, you really did a yeoman's job on this video. I visited Tahoe as a teenager over 40 years ago and I still think about going back. I think you're video just enticed me. Keep up the good work. You have an excellent narrative voice.

Jon on a bicycle? I never thought I’d see the day! Lake Tahoe is gorgeous, definitely a great place to relax.

[@HereBeBarr]

I can bike who knew!!

[@victoriapowell1118]

We are going there In April! Thank you for The info!!

[@Barbara-jn5uv]

My vacation every year growing up was to go camping for a week at DL Bliss State Park. We would hike down to the Vikingsholm or go to Eagle falls for the day. I will never forget how cold the water is in Lake Tahoe even in the summer months.

[@Qiubenjamin]

Thanks for taking us, so beautiful!

[@Jr-Tv13]

I literally went on KZbin right now and saw that you posted a video of Lake Tahoe so I immediately had to click. I was just watching it on the news like two minutes ago about the weather out there.

[@michaelavalek2649]

Beautiful video! I grew up near Tahoe, was only an hour drive and it’s the best place ever! During winter or summer the opportunities are endless there. Also for food places, yes glaze and confused doughnuts is the best! They have a blueberry old fashioned doughnut that is just incredible! Another great place is lucky beaver, it’s right in between all the casinos and is sooo good, just be ready for a long wait because everyone wants the delicious food, they have an open kitchen and you can see them making the food walking by outside (also open 24 hours). Another great place is fire and ice , it’s a raw buffet, you go around pick what you want and take it to the middle or the rest where the chef prepares it for you on a giant round grill and does cool tricks with his spatula and the ramekins you bring the food in. Anyways there’s nothing better than Tahoe, just moved to Oregon myself and still Tahoe is the best lol! If you’ve never been definitely make a trip there, it’s totally worth it!

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks

Hands down the best video guide to Lake Tahoe I’ve ever seen. And that’s coming from someone who was born in California and goes to Lake Tahoe all the time :-) Great job @herebebarr

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks Kyle

[@mgs721]

Awesome! I've been going to Tahoe from L.A. since I was a kid in the 70s and you've hit some spots I've never been to. Thanks!

[@Faraon.777]

Hello Hello everyone. I work here, and I have been in Tahoe for 2-3 months already, it is a very beautiful city. I like it very much.

[@Petalflipper]

Growing up here was such a memorable experience. I wish I had hiked a lot more than we did, though, and we were hikers. Lived in many homes in South Lake Tahoe as a kid.

[@alisonthorn2573]

Those donuts! Those burgers! The schnitzel! Great video Jon 👍 #teamadriana

[@Beacon_NY]

It's great to see you highlighting beautiful Lake Tahoe in California from the usual NYC routine!

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks. Beacon's been on my radar actually.

[@Beacon_NY]

You'll love it up here. Just 90 minutes north of NYC, and you're in a different universe surrounded by natural beauty. We have a mile long and beautiful Main St lined with shops and restaurants with Mt Beacon overlooking the city. Take a hike up the mountain and you can see the NYC skyline on a cloudless day on the fire tower. Lots to do with the museum, the Bannerman Castle tour, and fall foliage while in season.

[@nadianikolova5374]

Awesome video.👏❤

OMG ，it was in Tahoe that I saw snow for the first time in my life

Thanks Marlon

Wonderful, thanks

[@brockcox3863]

Next time your in Tahoe, you have to visit berts cafe. It is honestly way better than glazed and confused because you have a full meal with amazing customer service and a very cool old style dinner feel.! It’s a one of a kind Tahoe experience.

[@bonniepwtf]

I've been there but never saw as much of it as you have shared here. So beautiful. Also, what an interesting fact you shared about the Empire State Building & the depth of the lake, WOW! Looks like you & Lady A had a lovely time.

Hey John, cool video. I love Tahoe been there so many time, it definitely feels like a second home for me. Truly a beautiful and amazing place. I like some of the recommendations as well!

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks Albert

[@edvaira6891]

Haven’t been there since 1996, unfortunately (also visited in 1992 for our first wedding anniversary!)…absolutely beautiful both times…sadly, my wife’s disability, combined with age (we are in our mid-50’s) does not allow us to visit higher elevation sites anymore since my wife has trouble breathing in thinner air, so we likely will not get to return again…thanks for the reminder of two very lovely trips from our youth!

[@HereBeBarr]

Your welcome, the high elevation was affecting Adriana quite a bit.

[@edvaira6891]

@@HereBeBarr Sorry to hear that--Isnt she from central Mexico somewhere near to Mexico City? I always thought that area was similar to most of the Denver and Colorado Springs area in terms of high elevation

Hey - welcome to CA!! I am a 4 hour drive away and have been to Lake Tahoe many times. It's "heavenly" all year round. Did anyone tell you in the past month or so the whole south shore was evacuated due to a fire. It was a ghost town. I have taken Amtrak from CA to NY a few times and love going thru Truckee on the train in the snow.

Yes I heard about the wild fires so Scary

[@TheDenisedrake]

We go almost every year on our anniversary Nov 3. It's not crowded then, but many things are closed down in this shoulder season. We especially liked using the Action Tour app for Lake Tahoe. It pointed out the Tallac Site which is beautiful and so interesting. Valhalla is there-- who knew?

I love it there.

[@noahkeil6514]

In terms of treats in tahoe, the best local place for cookies is wildflour cafe in squaw valley. It is only open during the winter, but the cookies are more than worth it. Everything is fresh and homemade, and the staff are really friendly. Also, I would not advise going to Jax. It used to be good, but the food has been awful lately
