The 8 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Lake Tahoe (California), Lake Tahoe (California)

December 31, 2021 Jasper Kershner

Basking in its 300 days of sunshine, Lake Tahoe is a haven for outdoor fun in every season. Swimming, kayaking and windsurfing are popular in the summer months, while epic snowfall makes for spectacular skiing in winter. For those who prefer indoor fun, there's plenty of that in Tahoe, too. With 24-hour casinos and a flashy nightlife scene, the area has a tangible Vegas vibe. A sprinkle of bling, if you will. Not surprising, since Lake Tahoe straddles the border between California and Nevada.

Martis Peak Fire Lookout

Reviewed By tinaNtravel - San Jose, United States

We hiked to Martis Peak from Brockway Summit on 267 just outside King City, North Lake Tahoe. It was a fairly nice hike through the forest and then through a meadow. The trail is listed as moderate, and I would list it as easy-moderate, for the most part. Towards the end of the hike, we passed a parking lot and then had to walk up a paved road to get to the peak. At the peak, is a picnic table, an outhouse, and the look out. Inside the look out, there are drawings with names of all the peaks on that side of the look out, which was very nice - as you could see the name of what you were looking at. Unfortunately, the day we were there, the smoke from the wild fires had blown in and we barely saw any of the view - it was that hazy. We would definetly do this hike again, once the fire danger/smoke is well gone, as we'd really like to see the view - it has got to be fantastic.

This downtown intersection has preserved the architectural flavor of the "old west."

Reviewed By TV2451

This is the center of downtown Truckee where all the stores, bars and restaurants are. Kind of like an old west town in design. The food is good and it's laid back.
