Lake Tahoe is seeing so many visitors that fees could be hiked for everything from parking to hiking — inadvertently affecting the locals who are already struggling with the area’s high cost of living. The US Forest Service is proposing new or increased recreation fees at roughly 40 destinations across the Lake Tahoe region, including Emerald Bay, Echo Summit, Desolation Wilderness and Kiva Beach. 4 Visitors take pictures from the observation deck at Heavenly Ski Resort in South Lake Tahoe.
