This very attractive and detailed bird's-eye view depicts the Lake Tahoe region, extending to Truckee, Reno, and Carson City. The rugged topography of the region is presented with a three-dimensional quality and locates ski areas, golf courses, mountain peaks, and the road network to access these features. Text beneath the title further entices the reader, indicating the region has "no poison oak, no rattlesnakes, no harmful insects." The verso contains related text, illustrations, and two small maps. Published by the Lake Tahoe Sierra Association. Self-folding into pictorial wrappers (4.0 x 9.0"). Only one example located on OCLC.
