By June , the pass has usually just reopened after the winter snow melts, which makes the drive especially magical. Snowbanks can still line the roadsi de while alpine meadows begin to burst with early summer wildflowers. Waterfalls run strong from the snowmelt, and the mountain air feels crisp...]]></description><link>https://www.woollystar.com/post/twist-and-turn-through-ebbetts-pass</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69b0b9a84b8043385bd437e7</guid><pubDate>Wed, 11 Mar 2026 00:45:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e30bf3_1775b54bec8e483086bf82d3efed33d5~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Julie Stanley</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The First Glimpse of the Lake of the Sky - Lake Tahoe]]></title><description><![CDATA[As you crest the top of Echo Summit  and begin the winding descent toward South Lake Tahoe , there’s a moment when the trees part and the lake suddenly appears.
