Having grown up in Texas and having lived a good portion of my adult life in Austin, it comes as a frequent surprise to people to hear that I had never taken a West Texas road trip and explored all that our state has to offer, and in particular, Big Bend National Park. Now that I've made the effort to explore the area, I can say for certain that I've been missing out.

As such, here is my official Local's Guide to Lake Tahoe!

WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR?
