"magical place and despite the hike and parking situation, well worth the time and effort"
Arrive before 9am for parking lot spots
Parking meters take exact change, $4/hour
Hike down a steep mile to Vikingsholm Castle, a Scandinavian-style manor perched on one of Lake Tahoe's most photographed shorelines. The turquoise water and pine-capped island views make the climb back up feel like a fair trade.
