Lake Tahoe
Discovering a Natural Gem
Lake Tahoe was accidentally discovered in 1844 by John C. Fremont, who was searching for the Buenaventura River. From what is likely Red Lake Peak, Fremont gazed west and spotted a remarkable pass. In the excitement of finding a route through the imposing heights, he overlooked naming the stunning lake he had seen. Once he achieved his goal, he rectified this by naming it Lake Bonpland after a French explorer. Nevertheless, the lake was never known by this name and was instead called Lake Bigler. This changed in 1862 when William Henry Knight, an admirer of the basin, renamed it Lake Tahoe.
Development and Recognition
Significant development at Lake Tahoe began in the 1950s when roads leading to the basin started being maintained year-round, paving the way for permanent settlements. The 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley further established Lake Tahoe as a premier skiing destination in the United States.
Rich Cultural Heritage
The Tahoe basin is framed by the Sierra crest to the west and the Carson Range to the east, with a notable volcano to the north. Before Fremont's discovery, the area was a summer meeting ground for three bands of Washoe Indians. For the Washoe, Lake Tahoe held spiritual significance and was the site of sacred ceremonies.
Modern Attractions
Today, while the attractions at Lake Tahoe have expanded to include casinos, skiing, and hotels, the area still offers visitors a glimpse into its historical past and the timeless beauty of the lake itself. Whether seeking adventure or tranquility, Lake Tahoe continues to captivate those who visit.
