Float in a kayak on the clear blue water while the sun sets the sky on fire, the full moon rises, and the stars twinkle! The water will be calm and quiet as the wind dies down and other boats button up for the night. Increase your knowledge of astronomy with jaw dropping views of Lake Tahoe illuminated by the light of the full moon. We paddle for about two hours before landing on the beach to cap it all off with hot drinks, snacks, and more stargazing on the beach.

Shirley Canyon Trailhead

One
 of Tahoe’s most beloved hikes, winds alongside cascading waterfalls, 
offering a rich living classroom of medicinal plant species.
Join
 Dr. Elena Roemer, L.Ac and Brian Wallace, Certified California 
Naturalist, as we explore the edible and medicinal plants of the Lake 
Tahoe basin through both Western herbal actions and Chinese medicine 
energetics, while weaving in local ecology, plant folklore, and seasonal
 rhythms. We’ll focus on learning how to truly see and relate to 
plants—how to identify them, understand their properties, and approach 
harvesting with respect and restraint. The walk includes a guided plant 
sit and discussion of ethical wildcrafting, as well as gaining a clear 
understanding of when to harvest, while inviting a grounded, embodied 
relationship with the living landscape.
