What are the advantages of Arnold Bear Valley Region (ebbetts Pass Corridor) over Lake Tahoe Region

The beauty of Lake Tahoe can not be beat. The activities are vast and the weather in the summer is revitalizing. It is hard to find a more perfect place winter or summer. I truly love Lake Tahoe. The only-thing negative at all is the amount of people that come to enjoy Lake Tahoe. It is Crowded beyond it's capacity and has made the Lake Tahoe area suffer from urban congestion. Many times I have have enjoyed an outing near the lake only to get caught in a irritating traffic jam while we were getting back to where we are staying. This problem has become more the norm and common place in the Tahoe region.
There is an alternative, the Ebbetts Pass corridor. It offers much of the same beauty of the Tahoe Region but it has one difference. It is never crowded. You can find a place to hike and not feel like you are in line like going to Disneyland. The Arnold and Bear Valley region is expanding in its offerings of activities with the expansion of the ski area to the increased shopping and concerts at the Kautz Ironstone's outdoor amphitheatre. In the Arnold Bear Valley Area you can go for a hike to a serene lake with you and your family and experience nature in a very private setting. Sometimes your family will be the only people you will see. The climate is unhurried and calm because their are no crowds. There are plenty of alternatives to place to go. You can water-ski on a warm lower lake like Melonie's Lake near Angels Camp or go on a hike to see caves and creek at Natural Bridges; Shop in downtown Murphy's and picnic at Murphy's park; Wade in Murphy's Creek, Kayak in Union or Utica Reservoir or Swim in White Pines Lake in Arnold or venture higher with a hike to Duck lake or Highland Lakes. These are only some of the many place to go and experience. Come learn about the Bear Valley-Arnold (Ebbetts Pass) Region.
