BOATING TAHOE & TALES OF THE COMSTOCK TOURS 
Join Sierra Adventures to explore and savor the unparalleled beauty of Lake Tahoe and learn about Nevada's exciting wild west history.
Intro: An exciting, educational, adventure discovery of the Sierra, Lake Tahoe and
Nevada. This expedition is a must for those interested in archaeology, photography and
Nevada history. Lake Tahoe is one of the highest, deepest, coldest and most beautiful
lakes in the entire world. If emptied, Tahoe's waters would cover the state of California with 1
1/2 feet of water and take 700 years to refill. Creation of this landscape began after the
disappearance of the last dinosaur – about 10 million years ago. This fascinating era was
a tumultuous geologic period that included tectonic plates movements, continuous powerful
earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Slowly, the imposing granite Sierra Nevada mountains began to thrust upward from far below the earth's surface. Later in this period, lava flows, followed by a period of huge glaciers, began a process that formed the Tahoe
Basin. The basin filled to 600 feet over today's levels. The first humans in the basin were the peaceful Washoe Indians, arriving about 10,000 years ago. Relax as you cruise quietly and serenely upon pristine waters. You can gaze though panoramic windows with spectacular scenery, or explore the crystal clear waters from the deck
while basking in the warm sun. Sierra Adventures can take you right from your hotel bell desk.
The Tour: Your paddle boat adventure begins with a complimentary shuttle pickup at any
local hotel. Your shuttle will whisk you along "The most beautiful drive in America." On the
way, you'll have picturesque views of the beautiful Sierra and Lake Tahoe, the opportunity to
view scenic trails, and possibly catch a glimpse of some wildlife! Your guide will answer
questions about Lake Tahoe, the Sierra and Nevada as you descend into the Lake Tahoe Basin. On the return to Reno, we narrate through the rich Nevada history, including the Comstock
Lode, Virginia City, and Nevada's future.
