The Lake of the Sky

CHAPTER XVIII
12/14

Immediately behind Glenbrook is Dubliss Mountain (8729 feet), so named after Duane Bliss, father and son, both of whom have done so much to make Tahoe known to the world.

Marlette Peak is to the northeast, 8864 feet, with Snow Valley Peak, 9214 feet, a little to the South.

These both overshadow Marlette Lake, a full description of which is given elsewhere.

All these peaks afford excellent views of Lake Tahoe on the one side and of the valleys and mountains of western Nevada on the other.
The steamer now continues along the Nevada shore, past the scars caused by the breaking of the Marlette Lake flume, by Crystal Bay and the site of the old town of Incline, around State Line Point to Brockway.
This resort has been long and favorably known for its famous hot mineral springs.

The hot water is piped to all rooms and private baths of the hotels and cottages, and is a great source of pleasure as well as health-giving comfort to the guests.
We are now on the home-stretch, and soon after leaving Brockway (1-1/2 miles away) and forty-five minutes (eight miles) from Tahoe Tavern, we reach Tahoe Vista.
