Tallac Historical Site/Taylor Creek

We visited the Tallac Historical Site. First, we stopped inside to see a film on historic Lake Tahoe and looked around their museum. Maggie tried her luck with a drill the Washoe Indians used...

The sight of this Native American canoe does not get Maggie any closer to getting into a modern day canoe!
We saw (and smelled) beautiful flowers, gardens, and butterflies on our walk around the estates.

We visited the Pope and Baldwin estates. They were absolutely lovely. Unfortunately, we were unable to view the Valhalla estate due to a wedding on the site.
Can you believe this tree is 400 years old?

We visited Taylor Creek Visitor Center.

We hiked about half a mile on Rainbow Trail to the stream profile chamber.

We all had a fun day today...as you can see by Maggie's dirty feet (I had no idea feet could get THAT dirty)! I'll spare you by not showing you mine!
