Lake Tahoe is the gem of the Sierra Nevada. Those who visit this beautiful �Lake of the Sky� may share Mark Twain�s impression of the place as he camped on its shore in 1861: �As it lay there with the shadows of the mountains brilliantly photographed upon its still surface I thought it must surely be the fairest picture the whole earth affords.� Twain�s quote; from Roughing It; includes the trinity of Tahoe�s landscape�sky; mountains; and lake�that people still find inspiring. This explains; in large part; why the man-made environment around the lake is predominantly rustic; a style of architecture noted for its compatibility with its surroundings through the use of natural materials in construction�logs; stone; and wooden shingle�along with muted shades of green and brown. Through its homes; resorts; and other assorted buildings; Lake Tahoe remains �the fairest picture.�
