The Lake of the Sky
George Wharton James
High in the Sierra lies a lake so blue it seems dropped from heaven, and George Wharton James loved it. He tells why Tahoe earned its name, how Fremont discovered it, and every legend and vista around its shores. History, scenery, and pure enthusiasm. A rich guide to the lake of the sky for travelers and dreamers alike. Climb to the water that mirrors the clouds.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
