Ferry dock on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe—America's largest alpine line—with California in the distance. About two-thirds of the lake's shoreline is in the latter. Among the allure of the Nevada side is its resorts, many of which include legalized gambling casinos. Ski resorts, too, are significant revenue generators. Tahoe's usual deep-blue color attests to its standing as the world's fifth-deepest lake (on average). Photo by Carol Highsmith, 2022.
