Things To Do

There are endless things to do around Truckee and Lake Tahoe. Numerous hiking trails, great little towns with shopping and restaurants like Tahoe City and Incline Village. Be sure to jump in Lake Tahoe and experience the Washoe Tribe's sacred place with healing properties.Here are a few of our favs.

Historic Downtown Truckee

Donner Pass Road, Truckee, CA

Truckee has a bustling, highly walkable downtown area known as Historic Downtown Truckee. Centered along Donner Pass Road near the historic train depot, the area blends Old West architecture with modern boutiques, art galleries, and acclaimed restaurants.

Emerald Bay State Park

Hwy 89 South, Emerald Bay, CA 96142

Emerald Bay, located on the southwest shore of Lake Tahoe, is famously known for its striking, crystal-clear turquoise waters and dramatic panoramic vistas. Designated as a National Natural Landmark, it is easily one of the most photographed locations in the United States. There's even a castle.

Sand Harbor State Park

2005 Nevada 28, Incline Village, NV 89452

Gently sloping beaches, crystal-clear water and interesting rock formations allow for wonderfully sublime swimming, kayaking and scuba diving at Sand Harbor.

Sunnyside Restaurant

1850 West Lake Boulevard, Tahoe City, CA 96145

Grab lunch at Sunnyside. Beautiful views of Lake Tahoe and be sure to get the Hula Pie.

Casinos

Head over to Nevada and put it all on black. Or red. The Casino at the Hyatt in Incline Village is on the lake, South Lake Tahoe has larger casinos but is a bit further of a drive south from Truckee. All on the Nevada side of course.

For all the days along the way
