We will gear up on the beach and go over paddling technique, proper board handling and launching with a review safety and weather considerations. Upon launching our boards onto Lake Tahoe, we will spend some time getting acquainted with how the board handles in a kneeling position, focusing on body alignment, trim and turning the board. When you are comfortable and ready, we will standup. In addition to stand up paddling, we will go over falling in the water and getting back onto your board. Additionally, we will practice rescue paddling techniques such as knee and prone paddling. My goal is for everyone in the group to feel comfortable on the board and in the water. We will continue to work on developing our stroke as we tour areas of North Tahoe. The pace of this activity is casual and the attention is on smiles and good times! I have many special games and activities that your kids will love. We have been known to play red light, green light on paddlboards, jump over pool noodles, and run across boards lined up next to each other. Your kids will have a blast! Other things to note No SUP experience necessary. You must be able to swim. All guests will need to sign a liability waiver. I can meet your group at alternate locations as necessary. Transportation can be arranged.

Bring a beverage of choice, tour the Twain Gallery and settle into a casual conversation with The Ghost of Mark Twain (33 year impressionist McAvoy Layne). No question will go unanswered because if Mark Twain does not have an answer he will have an opinion. Mark Twain is an excellent historian, where facts are not essential, so bring your sense of humor and love of human nature. (Minimum 2, maximum 6 guests) -Grown Dogs Welcome- Other things to note Bring a camera, and a bottle of wine or your favorite beverage...

Once you book your experience, we'll chat to determine your hiking abilities, the type of camera you'll be shooting with, and your photographic skill level. I'm also available for a private portrait session on the Lake which you can book through my other experience - "Portrait Session on Lake Tahoe." The day we meet, we'll drive separately to a location on the Lake where a short hike will take us down to the shoreline. We'll practice using light to illuminate a scene, the power of reflections, learn the subtle difference perspective makes to create dramatic images, and how to compose an image using the rule of thirds, nines and spirals. Please understand to change the iso, aperture or fstop and shutter speed settings on your camera. Aperture mode is fine, but you have the most control over your capture in full manual. A wide angle lens and a tripod will afford you the best results. We'll stay a little past sunset just in case it's one of those magical evenings where the sky lights up after the sun dips below the horizon, returning with once in a lifetime images. If using an IPhone, we'll focus on lighting and composition.

On this adventure, we will be hiking with snowshoes, immersing ourselves in the forest on a homemade secluded winter trail. Starting, we will spend 1 hour of hiking up 800’ in elevation at a relaxed and enjoyable pace. Up the mountain, we go through uninterrupted Tahoe National Forest. Guiding through the alpine scenery I’ll be sharing stories of the area, history, as well as local flora and fauna. Roughly halfway, we reach one of the highlights of the hike and the scenic reward of Pauly’s Point, an outcropping of rocks, and our highest point of the adventure. From here, world-renowned ski resorts of Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley are in full view as they nestle into the Sierra Nevada mountains. Breathtaking scenery surrounds us as we take a break for a snack. On our way down, we will take roughly an hour to meander our way back down the mountain through a variety of high alpine meadows, finishing a loop as we reach the end. Due to the seclusion, seeing another person is highly unlikely. So step off the beaten path and allow me to show you a true mountain outing you won’t surely forget. This hike is suitable for all ability levels. However, due to the elevation gain, uneven surfaces, and ever-changing snow conditions. This hike is considered intermediate- moderate in difficulty so be ready to break a little sweat. All who attend will be rewarded greatly by the experience. Other things to note Eat, Hydrate, and use the restroom prior to the hike. No restroom is available at our meeting location. Make sure to have proper footwear for walking through snow for up to 3 hours. A water bottle or camelback is highly recommended for the hike.
