We have the utmost privilege of living in the Bay Area, where there is an abundance of natural beauty.
Every now and then, we make trips in the direction of Lake Tahoe. Hence, this Labor Day, we rented an Airbnb in the middle of a forest in Camino, CA for a couple of nights.
One of the highlights of this trip was a hike around Jenkinson Lake in the Sly Recreation Area. It is a 4-hour loop but we only did the 1-hour portion of it. For the rest of the time, we hung out by the lake.
We also heard about a waterfall around the Kyburz area called the Bassi Falls that requires a 1hr 30 minutes (4 miles) of hiking out and back to access it but we did not end up going there.
What we did instead was that we drove to White Hall. We used to regularly lounge on the rocks by the river there but this time we just took a short walk in that area. There is a favorite motel of ours called Kyburz Motel (now called Sierra Inn) that we used to go to often because it is by the river. We went there to check it out and on the way back, ate excellent food at a new Korean restaurant called Moon's Korean Kitchen in Silverfork, a town that is next door to Kyburz.
Earlier on Sunday, we had lunch at the Apple Ridge Farm because our Airbnb was in the Apple Hill area of Camino.
On Monday, we took an hour-long walk in the hills/forest on Copperton Road. It was a fabulous walk.
This place is in close proximity to towns like Fresh Pond, Pony Creek, Pollock Pines, and Placerville. The Airbnb itself had so much to do. There was a zipline for the kids and a play area as well.
All in all, we had a great relaxing time on this vacation.
