6/79

If you are on a tour to United States, then the one state where you would spendmost of your vacation days is none other then California. Whether you are aschool going kid, a working professional or have retired from professional life,travel in California is undoubtedly the preferred trip in the whole of USA.

Of the numerous exotic beautiful tourist spots, I am going to make an attemptto pick the 10 best spots in the state. The list below is picked for an average

professional whose interests are like that of a common man. If you arepursuing any special hobby or interest, then the below list may not apply toyou in entirety.

1. San Francisco

San Francisco is a major tourist spot no matter what age you are. The city hasone of the most unique landscapes in the entire world. The city streets are notflat like a normal road. They are high slopes; driving on this streets could bequiet a challenge. The most crookest street, probably in the universe, lies inthe city. Apart from this the 130 year old cable car ride, the former island

prison Alcatraz and above all the world famous Golden Gate Bridge are a mustsee for any tourist. But if you travel from San Francisco to these other great

places you'll have a lot more excitement on your travel.

2. Los Angeles

Los Angeles is a major commercial city of the state. If you like meeting peopleof different cultures, try out diverse culinary or anything similar, spend time inthis big city on the west coast. The city is a shoppers paradise and has one ofthe richest nightlife in the US.

3. Disneyland & Universal Studios

If you are with kids or you yourself like amusement parks, Disneyland andUniversal Studios are the best locations in the state. In near vicinity todowntown LA (both are in near opposite directions from downtown), each ofthese parks will

7/79

Take at least one day each. At the Universal Studios, take a peek at the largestudios where some of the most popular Hollywood films are shot. Who knowyou may see a big star outside one of the many sets in the studios.

4. Napa County

Napa County also referred as Napa Valley has one of the finest wineries inNorth America. It is about 80 kilometer from San Francisco. Many of the 250wineries offer wine tasting tours. This is a must spot for all you wine lovers.

5. Santa Monica

If you are looking for a walk on a palm lined beach in California, dont missSanta Monica. About 30 miles from downtown Los Angeles, Santa Monica

has the finest beaches of California. If you are lucky, you may catch a yesteryear Hollywood star walking alongside you on the beach.

6. Sacramento

If you are into art galleries and museums, the capital of California,Sacramento is a must visit destination. It has more then 30 museums and artgalleries. So if you travel Sacramento CA, you can get glimpse of theglorious past of California here.

7. Palm Springs

If you opt to relax in a resort, swim in a pool or play golf, then drop anchor atPalm Springs. Go horse riding, hiking, watch polo, visit art galleries whileyou are in Palm Springs. The location is well connected by road and also hasits own international airport.

8. San Diego

San Diego has great amusement parks and one of the biggest zoos in USA -and there are some great theme park discounts out there. About 4 hours roadride from Los Angeles, takes you to one of the finest beaches offering greatviews of the Pacific Ocean. Areas like Old Town in San Diego were the bigcommercial hubs of the nineteenth century. Note that there are so many moregreat options forSan Diego California vacations that definitely do not fit intothis article's limits.

9. Hollywood

The undisputed capital of glamour and the unofficial headquarters of filmdom,

Hollywood should be mandatory stop on your travel itinerary. The ChineseGrumman theatre, the walk of fame on Hollywood Boulevard, the nightlifearound the boulevard should not be missed at any cost. Hollywood transportsyou to the land of entertainment.

10. Lake Tahoe

Introduction


10/79

Kit Carson Lodge is situated on a high alpine lake surrounded by granitepeaks and tall pines. Located in the California Sierra 45 minutes south of LakeTahoe, Carson Lodge is one of those old destination resorts that they do not

build anymore. Wood, stone, water and spectacular scenery but most of all the

quiet!

Kit Carson Lodge is probably the opposite of where you are coming from. It

doesn't have the lights; it doesn't have the crowds. It is quiet and it is beautiful.

You can hear yourself think. At night you can hear a pin drop and the sky is so

big, so many stars. Whether you are hiking up to California premier

wildflowers in the sierra, lounging on our beach, out fishing or gliding across

Silver Lake in one of our canoes, dining in our restaurant, browsing in the art

gallery or store, or just sitting on your deck with a great wine looking up atthat incredible sky, Kit Carson Lodge at Silver Lake will definitely be

different from where you are right now and it may be the perfect place for you.

HISTORY


11/79

Kit Carson Lodge On silver lake

The lodge was established in 1926. Since then it is providing the best of the

vacations for all the guests. Providing with the best food in the restaurant.

With the great service by the skilled staff. The lodge is now owned by Mr.Bradley R. Pearson. He is running this hill resort since 1986 with the help of

his wife Mrs. Ximena B. Pearson

For over 80 years, Kit Carson Lodge has been providing a superb vacation

experience in the high sierra. Decade after decade the Lodge is timeless,

maintaining its traditional atmosphere in California where change is constant.

Rustic, elegant and a perfect fit in the wilderness - these are the attributes that

we are proudest of. We will often have three or even four generations of one

family at the resort at the same time - a perfect tribute to the role that the lodge

has played in the family traditions for decades.

Kit Carson


12/79

Born in Madison County, Kentucky near the city of Richmond, Carson wasraised in a rural area nearFranklin, Missouri, where his family moved in 1811when he was about one year old. [1] Carson's father, Lindsey Carson, was afarmer ofScots-Irish descent, who had fought in the Revolutionary WarunderGeneral Wade Hampton. There were a total of 15 Carson children: five byLindsey Carson's first wife, and ten by Kit's mother, Rebecca Robinson. Kitwas the eleventh child in the family.[2] The Carson family settled on a tract ofland owned by the sons ofDaniel Boone, who had purchased the land from theSpanish prior to the Louisiana Purchase. The Boone and Carson families

became good friends, working, socializing, and intermarrying.

Carson was eight years old when his father was killed by a falling tree whileclearing land. Lindsey Carson's death reduced the Carson family to a desperate

poverty, forcing young Kit to drop out of school to work on the family farm,as well as engage in hunting. At age 14, Kit was apprenticed to a saddle maker

(Workman's Saddle shop) in the settlement of Franklin, Missouri. Franklinwas situated at the eastern end of the Santa Fe Trail, which had opened twoyears earlier. Many of the clientele at the saddle shop were trappers andtraders, from whom Kit would hear their stirring tales of the Far West. Carson

is reported to have found work in the saddle shop suffocating: he once stated"the business did not suit me, and I concluded to leave".

At sixteen, Carson secretly signed on with a large merchant caravan heading toSanta Fe; his job was to tend the horses, mules, and oxen. During the winter of1826-1827 he stayed with Matthew Kinkead, a trapper and explorer, in Taos,

New Mexico, then known as the capital of the fur trade in the Southwest.Kinkead had been a friend of Carson's father in Missouri, and he taughtCarson the skills of a trapper. Carson also began learning the necessarylanguages and became fluent in Spanish, Navajo, Apache, Cheyenne,

Arapaho, Paiute, Shoshone, and Ute.

General Store and Gift Shop

General Store and Gift Shop brings to mind an era past. It is a small store that

has it and is truly a one-stop shopping experience. While at the Lodge, you can

relive that friendly feeling by visiting our unique general store. Imagine being

able to find penny candy - we have it and ice cream treats and other snacks.

Coffee is available at the store. The first cup is free! You will find basic food

items, beverages, sandwiches and salads freshly made every morning. You

might even want to consider Christmas shopping to avoid crowds and find

items that you won't see at the mall: unique jewellery, books and toys or a new

game. We have a wide selection of gift items, our own Kit Carson Lodge or

Silver Lake collection of mugs, many choices of designed T-shirts, sweatshirts

and hats for all ages. Stop in to visit and browse.Store hours are 9 am to 8 pm

daily June 29 through Sept 2, 2007. Please check with our store or front desk

staff for hours before and after above dates.

Hiking

Hiking and Wildflowers in the Silver Lake / Carson Pass

Area

This is one of the premier wildflower areas of California and one of the besthiking areas for short, spectacular hikes. Because our base elevations and trailheads are so high in the Carson Pass area, hikes quickly take you up to high lakesin alpine terrain that might take overnight backpack trips elsewhere. A widevariety of terrain is available and many of our guests take different hikes everyday for several weeks without traveling more than 10 miles from the resort to atrailhead. Because many of these hikes are gentle and short, they are particularlyappealing to older guests and families with young children.

Like Mr. and Mrs. Robert Peeks, who have been coming to Silver Lake area formore than 30 years, you will be able to hike and explore the area, taking photos

Kit Carson Lodge also rents fishing boats and our general

store is well stocked with bait and fishing tackle.

The Kayaks in lodge are shorter and wider than traditional kayaks, making

them much more stable. Experience the grace and speed of a kayak as you

tour our lake's edge. You sit low in the kayak and feel much closer to the

water. These boats are very agile and fast.

Silver Lake is 1.5-miles long and .75-miles wide and has a shoreline noted for

sheer granite walls, small coves and interesting islands. Whether you enjoy this

scenic lake from our sandy swimming beach or from a canoe, kayak, rowboat or

small motor boat, the lake is a must on everyone's agenda. Bring your swimsuit,

a great book, sunglasses and plenty of sunscreen.

Kit Carson Lodge offers boat rentals. Motor boats, canoes and kayaks may be

rented at the lodge office between 8:30 am and dusk. Pack a lunch and paddle

or motor over to TreasureIslandto enjoy the stillness and natural beauty of thelargest island at the southern side of the lake. Or perhaps enjoy nature's

landscape by boating around the 5 miles of scenic lakeshore. Silver Lake is

stocked routinely to provide a hopeful "fisherperson" opportunity to catch

rainbow and native German Brown trout.
