The drive there is unique. It is closed in winter due to icy narrow roads.. The view is iconic. Drive a bit further up the west side of the lake to Sugar Pine Point State Park to see a pretty lakeside mansion and turquoise lake water.

Essentials
Lira's is a community hub for the Meyers area of South Lake Tahoe. They have a decent selection of food and some gourmet items as sell. Their prices are a bit higher than the huge Raleys closer to the Lake but Lira's is a small town store that supports the community.
Pick up the latest copy of the local Daily Tribune to see what is going on. There are usually some dinner-type coupons inside as well.
