5 days in South Lake Tahoe Itinerary

For shopping fun, head to Marcus Ashley Fine Art Gallery or Wyland Galleries. Get a sense of the local culture at The Way It Was Museum and Silver Terrace Cemeteries. Change things up with these side-trips from South Lake Tahoe: Marshall Mint & Museum (in Virginia City) and Genoa (Mormon Station State Historic Park & Genoa Courthouse Museum). There's still lots to do: stroll through Angora Lakes Climb, stroll the grounds of Genoa Cemetery, hike along Vikingsholm Hiking Trail, and cast your line with a fishing tour.
