We planned the tour at the beginning of our trip so we would have an idea of where we might want to return. The tour was more fun and informative than we ever imagined. It was literally one of the best parts of our trip! Jim was an amazing guide.

Truckee Bike Park

Reviewed By Journey16429445878 - San Francisco, United States

Easily one of the best bike parks anywhere. You can see the care and attention that has gone into crafting this place. Lines for everyone from beginner to the advanced rider. A "must visit" when in town if you are into bikes.

Secret Cove Beach

Reviewed By CoachDaddy85 - Ocean City, United States

Fairly easy hike from road parking. Alternative parking in chimney cove - easy walk from there along access road then a well defined path to the cove. People were discreet and cool. Will return.

Truckee River Bike Trail

Not too challenging, and good for the entire family. Great way to bike from Squaw into town, have lunch, visit Commons beach and bike back again.

Eagle Rock Hiking Trail

Reviewed By emorga - Rome, United States

This is a relatively easy trail to climb Its a little rough at the top navigating rocks as it loses it clear definition as a trail. Very enjoyable with lots of families having a fun outing

Truckee River Legacy Trail

Reviewed By johnsD576GV

A stroll along the river before dinner, well worth taking the time to relax and feel nature. There is no difficulty to this paved path.

Sand Harbor

Rocky coves and boulders to jump off of are the primary features of this beach.

Reviewed By RevfromCA - Sacramento, United States

This is a beautiful state park well worth the $10 entrance fee along the east shoreline of Lake Tahoe. You can use the entrance fee the same day to visit Cave Rock state park as well which is closer to South Lake Tahoe. The walking paths along the shore of Sand Harbor are very nice and the scenery is excellent. Check out the visitors center as well.

Diamond Peak Ski Resort

Diamond Peak is a community-owned resort with breathtaking views of Lake Tahoe; miles of welcoming, uncrowded runs; easy access from the parking lot to the slopes; a dedicated Child Ski Center for the littlest skiers and snowboarders; and a great Ski & Ride Center for older skiers/riders. All of this and affordable lift ticket and season pass prices makes Diamond Peak Tahoe’s best value, year after year.

We had a great experience with two children ages 6 and 9 and one adult. All had never skied downhill before. Took lessons in the morning and skied the rest of the day for 3 days. Nice choice of slopes. Very well organized parking, check in, and equipment rental.
