driving highway 50 to lake tahoe: worth the stress?

We decided to take a road trip up Highway 50 to Lake Tahoe last weekend, hoping for some fresh mountain air and those gorgeous lake views everyone raves about. The scenery was stunning—towering pines, snow-capped peaks, and the lake sparkling in the distance. But honestly, the drive itself was a whole different story. The winding roads had my hands glued to the steering wheel, and every time a big truck came barreling around a curve, my heart skipped a beat. We stopped at a little diner halfway up, and the waitress told us the road is called the 'Highway to the Sky.' I get why, but I also wondered if it should be called the 'Highway to Heartburn.' I kept thinking, is it just me, or does everyone else get nervous on those sharp turns? I even saw a couple of cars pulled over, probably taking a breather like we did. I love a good adventure, but I’m starting to wonder if the stress of the drive is really worth it for the view at the end. Has anyone else felt this way? I can’t be the only one who’s torn between loving the destination and dreading the journey. Maybe there’s a less nerve-wracking route, or some tips for making the drive easier? #LakeTahoe #RoadTrip #Highway50 #Travel
