Truckee Area Attractions
I loved Truckee, after you see these pictures and read the captions you'll know why.
There are 6 ski resorts within 20 miles of Truckee. I bought a season pass each year at Northstar and tried to ski at least 20 days a year.
There are many great mountain golf courses in and around Truckee. This is the Tahoe Donner golf course where I lived and bought a season pass each year.
Lake Tahoe and Donner Lake were both great for kayaking. I bought a kayak the first year I moved to Truckee and kayaked every summer at both lakes.
The Lake Tahoe area has some of the best backpacking around, including Desolation Wilderness. I love the outdoors and went backpacking for many years.
There are mountain bike trails all around Lake Tahoe and at many of the ski resorts.
Rafting down the Truckee River was exciting and always a lot of fun. I went rafting several times throughout the years.
Tahoe Donner has a private beach on Donner Lake where I spent time each summer.
Sunnyside restaurant's outdoor deck overlooking Lake Tahoe is one of the best places to dine and have drinks.
Camp Richardson was my favorite beach on Lake Tahoe. On the weekends they have live music where everyone sat around in their bathing suits to listen, dine, and drink.
Concert in the park was a Truckee tradition every Wednesday night during the summer, I tried never to miss it.
Truckee downtown farmers market, a good place to hangout and see my friends.
