WESTERN SPIRIT

Set in the Striking landScape of Steamboat SpringS, colorado, the Wild Goose Ranch is an authentic interpretation of Western tradition infused with modern-day amenities. With a nod to ranch homes of a bygone era, the residence comprises three buildings connected by light-drenched enclosed walkways. Renewable energy sources and energy-efficient design elements are in place throughout the project. Agricultural ponds dot the property, referencing its history, while nearby, a timber-frame barn hosts a variety of community events sponsored by the civic-minded homeowners. Kelly & Stone Architects created the original master plan for this energy-efficient showpiece, as well as the design for the main residence and barn. A member of the United States Green Building Council, the award-winning firm is dedicated to incorporating sustainable building solutions into their residential and commercial projects. Stunning examples of their work can be seen throughout the mountain west.Visit www.ksaarch.com or call 970.875.0590

LAKE TAHOELifEsTyLEs

Set on the shores of the largest, clearest lake in North America, the communities that ring Lake Tahoe offer world-class recreation, entertainment, dining and fun. The 22-mile-long lake in the Sierra Nevada mountains is a dividing line between California and Nevada, with each shoreline providing a unique perspective on the area. The stunning natural scenery of this region has been enjoyed and inhabited for thousands of years, and was first seen by European explorers guided by the legendary Kit Carson in 1844. Gold mining led to a boomtown era, and the early 19th century saw visits from nearby San Francisco socialites. These days, the Tahoe area still has the power to lure travelers from near and far, thanks to its award-winning ski resorts, high-energy casinos, year-round opportunities for outdoor adventure and, of course, the waters of “Big Blue.”

WHAT TO DO During the summer months, there are nearly limitless recreation opportunities in and around the lake. Hiking, mountain biking and fishing are just the beginning of the outdoor fun. With visibility up to a depth of 75 feet in the lake and abundant beaches, the pristine waters beckon boaters and sportsmen. Numerous golf courses dot the landscape, and casinos and resorts bring an exciting edge to a Tahoe visit, with the venues typically hosting concerts and other special events. Festivals celebrate interests including arts, music and theater, wine and more. The area offers a little something for everyone, from scenic paddleboat rides to 5K and family walk/run races along the lake, farmer’s markets, beach concerts, live theatre, exhilarating nightlife, gaming, art walks and more.

WHErE TO EAT More than a hundred restaurants along the lake serve casual, fine and leisure dining for nearly any taste. With everything from California cuisine with a mountain twist to sushi to pub fare, there’s no shortage of options at dinner, breakfast or anytime.

BOOK iT Lake Tahoe has abundant lodging options that range from AAA Five-Diamond accommodations to elegant and basic condos to full-service casino resorts, secluded cabins, guest ranches and hotels. There are also accommodations for groups, business travelers and special events. Visit visitinglaketahoe.com to research lodging, dining, recreation and more.
