Fallen Leaf Lake is about 20 minutes South of Lake Tahoe. When I went, there was nobody there.

Granite? Yes.
Tahoe Blue water? Almost.

The road to get in and out of there is pretty bad. It reminds me a lot of the crappy little road down to Yosemite Creek campground or Kaiser Pass road outside of Fresno. Will I go back? Probably not. It’s nice, but it’s not Tahoe.

You just can’t replace Lake Tahoe.
