moose standing close to the road on the west; a huge herd of
elk in the field south of Kelly Warm Springs (200-300) and 10
bison on a distant berm on the west side of Gros Ventre Road.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - We ve seen the stories and photos of trash left behind by the large number of people spending time in the snow from Truckee to South Lake Tahoe. A growing problem is the people finding whatever patch of snow is available, normally in areas not previously used for snow play.
Controlling the trash has become an issue. Clean Tahoe, the South Lake Tahoe program tasked with keeping the community litter and trash free, hits whatever areas their staff can, but this means one person tackling the problem. The League to Save Lake Tahoe has its Blue Crew volunteer teams being training currently to get out to these winter hot spots, and other groups are out trying to remove what people should have taken with them when heading home.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - With throngs of people heading to Lake Tahoe over the holidays, not only did they travel during a regional and state stay-at-home order, they also failed to remove their broken sleds and other trash when they left. What was left behind has drawn numerous complaints left on social media and with local authorities.
The reason many come to Lake Tahoe at any time of year is to enjoy the beauty, the blue skies, the crystal blue lake and untouched trails and mountains. With a growing number of visitors, the trash these visitors leave behind is spoiling Mother Nature s wonders they were first drawn too.
