Fallen Leaf, Lake Tahoe

For Labor Day weekend we went to Fallen Leaf campground in South Lake Tahoe. On our drive in, we could see the smoke from the Rim Fire in Yosemite, about 150 miles away.

The campground is next to Fallen Leaf Lake.

The dogs enjoyed the water in different ways. Rufus let the water come to him...

 ... Joey tried to swim to the middle of the lake. Brian had to jump in and corral her.

 One afternoon we hiked up a ridge, which afforded views of Fallen Leaf Lake (foreground) and Lake Tahoe (background).

We enjoyed lunch with a view!

We went back to the lake to cool off and Brian and Mike swam with Joey for twenty minutes.

The fire's smoke meant a beautiful sunset.
