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.

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.

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

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.

Incline Village Crystal Bay Visitors Bureau

Reviewed By 791patsys - San Jose, United States

I stopped at this Visitors Center prior to boarding a shuttle to the Thunderbird Lodge tour. The center has LOADS of information about the Tahoe area, and both of the employees were very pleasant and willing to share detailed information about what is in in the area, based on my questions. They were able to offer suggestions about several area hikes, natural sights, and even some shopping tips! The center also has lovely grounds surrounding it, and there is even a little room of Ponderosa memorabilia in the main building. This center really exceeded my expectation of a ‘visitors center!!’
