Monica is standing on the Lincoln Highway at the Zephyr Cove Lodge, Nevada. We had ventured over the state line following the Lincoln Highway up and over to Carson City. On the way, we stopped in Zephyr Cove to follow the highway's original course, which is behind the lodge on the current Highway 50. We are looking north in this photo.

Looking down the Lincoln Highway towards a fence that stops cars from entering the lodge area where Monica stood in the first photos. However, you can walk around the fence to access the lodge portion of the highway—some vintage cabins along the old road here.

The Old Lincoln Highway at Zephyr Cove is right along the water. It's just a hundred yards to the lake's edge. This strip of road has some great vintage cabins that once watched the transcontinental motorists pass by.

Turning around to face south, the old Lincoln Highway heads up the hill for about another 200 yards and eventually melds into the current Highway 50. Unfortunately, it’s a dead-end, and you’ll have to turn around and head back down the way you came.

On the northern side of the Zephyr Cove Lodge parking lot is a dirt section of the old road. The Forest Service had placed a sign mentioning the importance of the old road. This section is some of the last original Lincoln Highway roadbeds around Lake Tahoe.

The Forest Service sign describing the Lincoln Highway around Lake Tahoe. Most of the road around Lake Tahoe was dirt back then. Imagine what an adventure it was for early motorists to travel around the lake on dirt wagon roads.
