We have made it to June, and our weather is looking up after a rainy (and snowy) May! The last weekend in May was the only one where we didn’t get some kind of precipitation. Which, we very much needed during this drought! June is off to a great start, with summer-like temperatures at the beginning of the week. This weekend our forecast is calling for scattered thundershowers. But that doesn’t mean we won’t get a little bit of fun in the sun. June is the last month of slow season before we jump right into the busy summer months on July 1st. Until then, we have some great activities here in South Lake Tahoe for those here to partake in. Here are just a few of our top suggestions!
