Das es in dem Eck Lake Tahoe, Sacramento nichts zu sehen gibt sehe ich ganz anders. Wenn Du die großen NP meinst dann hast Du sicherlich Recht, aber es gibt genügend andere Sehenswerte Orte in dieser Gegend.
Allein der Lake Tahoe, eingebetet in die Sierra ist einen Besuch wert. Dann möchte ich auf die Straße 49 hinweisen die durch die Golden Hills führt an der liegen sehr reizvolle Orte ich will nur einige davon nennen, Auburn, Grass Valley, Nevada City, Sutter Creek, Jackson uvm.. Des Weiteren gibt es den Empire Mine State Historic Park, dazu ein kleiner Auszug.

Habe in dieser Gegend schon mehrere Wochen verbracht und es wurde mir nie Langweilig, ist halt etwas abseits der Touristischen Hauptströmungen.
