If you wish to view Lake Tahoe from a different perspective, try the gondola of a hot air balloon. These F.A.A. certified and registered balloons are piloted by well-experienced commercial and instructor-rated aviators. Your leisurely three-hour flight begins at dawn; so be sure to bring a jacket. And don't forget your camera for the most spectacular pictures you will probably ever take in a lifetime. You can meet at site of departure, or a shuttle can pick you up at your hotel in South Lake Tahoe. Advance reservations are an absolute must.
