On the Barlow Toll Road, Summit Meadows was an important rest stop for emigrants.

Brockway Summit overlooks some of the most breathtaking views of Lake Tahoe. Lake Tahoe straddles the border of California and Nevada and is known for being a winter wonderland during the winter months.

The stones at the summit of Glyder Fawr appear as if they are the spine of a mythical beast hiding under the pile of rocks. I love this part of the world and I feel privileged to be living just 30 minutes away from these incredible mountains.
