Happy August friends!
We’ve been spending these dog days of summer cooling off at alpine lakes, mountain rivers, and streams. Won't you join us? The water's great! Fill in your end of summer calendar with a trip to Truckee-Tahoe.
We're seeing last minute lodging open up at GREAT DEALS, so don't wait, hurry and book summer lodging.
As always, the Truckee-Tahoe Travel Alert is your source of daily updates. Check this page for a heads up on summer storms, air quality (which has been soooo good), and news.
We wish you a joyous summer before the kiddos go back to school. Squeeze in one more evening of music, dinner on the deck with friends, trail run, ride, cold brew, discovery hike with the kids and so much more. Soak it all in and enjoy every minute of these beautiful long days while they last!
