A tree-hugging, camera-toting, jewelry-designing mean mommy who loves to cook and hates to clean and thinks that an 11+-mile hike on Mothers' Day is just the thing to do

Emerald Bay State Park — Like John A. Vlahides

Sky-high granite cliffs rise from sparkling emerald-green waters in a glacially carved, fjord-like bay at Emerald Bay State Park, one of the area’s most awesome natural sights. If you’ve never seen it, head to Inspiration Point for killer views. The water’s color changes throughout the day with the sun; the best time to visit is mid-to-late morning. By late afternoon, the bay is in shadow. Below the parking area, check out Vikingsholm, a 1929 mansion.

Warm, vibrant Desolation Wilderness — Like April Nelson

The winter views of steely Lake Tahoe clouded by blustery blowing snow may resemble a "desolation wilderness," but summer’s warmth and animal activity inject vibrance into the region converting the grayscale coldness into a Technicolor wonderland. Bluebirds sing and yellow-bellied marmots scamper along the 4.8-mile hike to Mount Tallac’s summit. The trail traverses green pine forests sprinkled with scarlet Sarcodes (snow plants) and a rainbow of wildflowers. An elevation gain of over 3000 feet provides numerous overlooks of glacially carved valleys filled with sapphire lakes—Tahoe, Floating Island, Fallen Leaf, and Cathedral—while smaller glassy ponds reflect Mount Tallac’s trees, boulders, and dots of alabaster snow against a brilliant blue sky background. Desolation Wilderness? Nah, I’d call this radiant region the Painted Sierra overlooking Crayola Valley.

Donner Memorial State Park — Like John A. Vlahides

The next time you're in North Lake, head to Donner Lake and the Donner Memorial State Park and Emigrant Museum, where you can push buttons on light-up dioramas and learn about the ill-fated Donner Party, who got trapped here in the winter of 1846-47 and were forced to cannibalize the dead to survive. This is one of the greatest tragedies in American history, and it took place right here. Watch the short film in the museum’s theater. Afterward, pick up a copy of Ordeal by Hunger, by George R. Stuart from the gift shop; it tells the whole sad story. The pedestal of the statue outside the museum stands 22ft, marking the incredible snow depth that year. After you’ve gotten sufficiently spooked, head west along Donner Pass Rd and ascend the actual pass for awe-inspiring views over Donner Lake.

Donner Lake — Like Natalie Grant

Whoever said "Scratch a dog and you'll find a permanent job" clearly never threw a stick into the alluringly hospitable waters of Donner Lake, itself redefining the color azure. The heavily forested eastern shore sees no one but exuberant pups and their notably cheerful owners enjoying a morning workout or afternoon break. In truth, it's impossible not to make a half-dozen friends upon arrival (both two legged and four legged), and it may only be a few throws before you're swimming as well. The striking smell of sugar pines, the railroad etched high into the cliff, the mellow quiet (with intermittent splashing), the crisp and pure water famous for its immaculate clarity--it's no wonder the dogs refuse to leave.
