The next most obvious Tahoe activity is just sitting quietly gazing at all the gorgeousness of the High Sierra. With almost no light pollution during the night, stargazing in the Sierra should be high on anyone's list. Tahoe's spectacular night sky is best seen while sitting either close to the lake and away from trees that block the sky, or watching from way up high above the trees.
