Lake Tahoe - USA

From Arizona to the border between California and Nevada to show these two Lake Tahoe cards. The 1st is an official that I got a few days ago and the 2nd was sent last year by Hélène.

Lake Tahoe is a large freshwater lake in the Sierra Nevada of the United States. Lying at 6,225 ft (1,897 m), it straddles the state line between California and Nevada, west of Carson City. Lake Tahoe is the largest alpine lake in North America. 
The lake was formed about 2 million years ago as part of the Lake Tahoe Basin, with the modern extent being shaped during the ice ages. It is known for the clarity of its water and the panorama of surrounding mountains on all sides.
