Easy to Access

Lake Tahoe is located on the border of California and Nevada. It is extremely easy to access from any major airport. After flying into Reno, Nevada Lake Tahoe is only about an hour’s drive away. There are many great hotels and houses for rent there, no matter if you’re traveling on your own or with friends or your entire family.

Affordable

While Lake Tahoe is a tourist location, it is relatively well-priced for a visit. You always have the option of renting a house or a space with a kitchen and cooking your own meals. There are also lots of mid to low-priced drinking and dining establishments around the lake. This is partially because there is a large population of locals who work at the various outdoor facilities. Ski bums, hikers, bikers, and all kinds of outdoor guides populate fun and affordable nightlife establishments. This means that you don’t have to spend a fortune eating out or having fun. The locals are also very friendly and love Lake Tahoe, so they’re almost always willing to discuss great spots around town for shooting pictures.

Varied Terrain

Dan Doyle Pleasantville has found that the thing that makes Lake Tahoe one of the best places to shoot is the incredibly varied terrain in and around Lake Tahoe. The lake itself offers wonderful vistas of boats and water. There are also mountains, valleys, prairies, bike trails, stunning cliffs, and there are plenty of local spots that lend themselves to terrific photographs. There is also an incredibly colorful and fun local community of outdoors people that lend themselves to wonderful photographs.
