This Nevada Lake Looks Like Something Straight Out Of A Fairy Tale

On the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe — about 20 miles from Carson City — right off Highway 28 is a portion of the majestic lake that is awe-inspiring and jaw-dropping. A beautiful rocky spot in this Nevada lake provides a view of something truly magical and reminiscent of a fairy tale.

Lake Tahoe is the second deepest alpine lake in the US, behind Oregon's Crater Lake.

Halfway between Sand Harbor and Hidden Beach on the east side of the lake is a large boulder with four small trees growing out of a crevice on top.

From the parking area, there is a short but steep walk down to the water's edge and the perfect vantage point where you can photograph this amazing natural phenomenon.

Bonsai Rock is so named because of the small trees' resemblance to iconic Japanese bonsai trees which are deliberately stunted and neatly pruned. These trees are naturally pruned by the elements.

The fact that these little trees have survived given their barren home is a miracle.

Bonsai Rock is oft-photographed, and every picture reveals a different, magical view.

Whether day or night, Bonsai Rock is truly a natural work of art and something that belongs in a fairy tale.

A dusky glow gives the lake and Bonsai Rock an otherworldly glow.

Even at night, the lake casts a magical spell over the area.
