Bears are a
common sight
around Lake Tahoe.
People must be
responsible with
their food and
garbage to avoid
problems.

elcome to Lake
Tahoe, Jewel
of the Sierra.
Keep in mind
vacationing in
black bear country brings with it
some responsibilities.
Rule one is simple: Keep your
food, your pets food and everyones garbage out of bears paws.
Do not feed bears, accidentally or
intentionally.
Rule two is just as simple: Theres
no excuse for breaking rule one. It is
illegal and it will make trouble not
only for you, but for bears who will
pay the price for your irresponsibility, sometimes with their lives.
Problems can be completely
avoided if you keep it in the back of
your mind that every moment you
are in Tahoe, there is a bear hiding
behind a tree somewhere, said Ann
Bryant, director of the Bear Education Aversion Response (BEAR)
Keeping Tahoes
bears wild
BY TOM LOTSHAW
VERY VIGILANT
Bears have great noses for sniffing out food and trash.
Dont leave food outside. That includes dirty dishes. Dont leave food
in a car or even a house if a bear can
smell it and find a way in.
Garbage belongs in bear-proof
trash bins. Never leave it out
overnight in regular trash cans or
Healy said about one bear breakin. Bears can not only smell where
food is, they have strength and
perseverance to remove barriers between them and food. People need
to be very vigilant.

California or Nevada.
Instead, many more bears die because of humans than the other way
around. They continue to die each
year, whether thats because theyre
hit by cars, illegally shot or destroyed
because they become dependent on
humans for food.
Its a dangerous place to be a
bear, Bryant said about Lake Tahoe.
Theyve always been here and
theyre not going away. Were here

s a vital gateway
for Americas 19th
century westward
expansion to the Pacific Ocean, Donner
Pass is arguably one
of the most storied locations in the
United States.
One of the lowest passes in
the Sierra Nevada at about 7,000
feet, the gap in the granite has
always been a highway of sorts.
For thousands of years before California-bound pioneers with farm
wagons first breached the Sierra
there in 1844, Great Basin Indians
used the trail over the mountains
to trade with tribes from the
Sacramento Valley and near the
Pacific Coast, and vice-versa.
At its location on the Sierra
Crest, Donner Pass represents the
Pacific Divide, where its western
watershed begins above the broad,
tilted flank of the Sierra range. The
North Fork of the American River
gets its start near here, as does the
South Fork of the Yuba River, long
before their final destination in the
Pacific Ocean.
The steep and rugged eastern
watershed of Donner Pass, however, drains quickly to Donner Lake,
which in turn feeds into the main
stem of the Truckee River. These
waters flow into the Great Basin
where they feed Pyramid Lake,
SUMMER 2014
Of 45 survivors, 25 resorted to
cannibalism. The sensationalized news of the Donner Party
incident shocked California and
the nation, and the previous
historic contribution by the Stephens-Townsend-Murphy Party
was forgotten in the hysteria.
Today, the name Donner has
a virtual monopoly in the region;
featuring two passes, a peak, a
summit, a lake, a creek, and state
park. The Stephens Party finally received credit for their
achievement with the dedication of Mount Stephens in
1994. Nearby Schallenberger
Ridge is named for 18-yearold Moses Schallenberger,
a member of the Stephens
wagon company who
survived the winter of 1845
alone at Donner Lake.
Emigrants quickly
learned that there was a
better way to cross the mountains
than over the cliffs and boulders
at Donner Pass. A new route
a few miles to the south was
opened at Roller Pass in 1846 and
emigrants slowly stopped using
the original trail established by
Stephens-Townsend-Murphy.

Think youve had enough after a full day of recreation
and adventure at Lake Tahoe? Think again ... you
can find a world-class rock concert, hip-hop show
or classical-music symphony event just about every
evening in the summer. Steve Miller Band (pictured)
is just one of countless shows on tap.

ashington state has the Gorge Amphitheatre, Colorado has Red Rocks
Amphitheatre and Lake Tahoe has,
well, Lake Tahoe.
While the concert venues around the lake cant
match the capacity of those well-known amphitheaters, Lake Tahoe provides one of the most scenic
backdrops for live music in the world.
Numerous bars and restaurants offer music on
their decks throughout Tahoes warmer months,
Sand Harbor State Park features musical performances in addition to its world-renowned Shakespeare festival and the Valhalla Art,Music &
Theatre Festival offers plenty of opportunities for
your ears at the South Shore.
Three outdoor summer concert series around the
lake also offer free music along with the opportunity
to dip your toes in the water.
At the South Shore, the Live at Lakeview summer
concert series takes place every Thursday during the
summer at the recently remodeled El Dorado Beach
on the 3200 block of Lake Tahoe Boulevard.
Now in its third year, the summer concert series
has become the go-to place to connect with friends
while soaking up the sun and appreciating Lake
Tahoes never-gets-old beauty.

Whats better than driving along the lake, listening to great music? Not needing a radio,
because theres so much great music around.
From Kings Beach on Friday, to Commons Beach in Tahoe City on Sundays; North to
Squaw and Northstar, and down the West Shore, North Lake Tahoe has it cranked up
to 11 this Summer.
Just about every day, theres free outdoor music to be had, along with great headliners
and festivals. So if youre into music, get online, and then make some tracks. (Youll be
in excellent company.)
