Lake Tahoe Vacation Guide
Palms to Pines Vacations presents the following vacation resources to help you plan your next trip to Lake Tahoe area including: Beaches & Boating, Events Calendar, Fishing, Golfing, Hiking & Biking, Skiing, Restaurants! Lake Tahoe has a great public transportation network that is both convenient and accommodating. Check out TART (Tahoe Area Regional Transit) for schedules and coverage areas. Before heading to the mountains stay in touch with changing conditions on Lake Tahoe Weather & Roads.
On an even "whiter" note, with the coming of fall and winter, the eyes of the inhabitants of this area turn northward willing the snow to arrive. No matter how long one has been here, the joys of ALPINE AND NORDIC SKIING, SNOWSHOEING, SNOWBOARDING, SLIDING, TOBOGGANING and ICE SKATING, is always much anticipated. The gamut of winter sports and activities tugs at us until the first flakes fly. The snow in this area is deep, powdery and prolific.
Lake Tahoe is called more often than not, "THE LAKE OF THE SKY" or the "EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WORLD" because of its deep, blue clarity surrounded by the majesty of the northern Sierra Nevada mountain range. It has beckoned to boaters since the Washoe peoples glided in their hand-hewn canoes from one shore to another. Water sports on the Lake pass many a glorious day during the summer months.
Sport fishermen flock to this area in the High Sierra Nevada because of the variety of "fishing holes" and the prize fish available in them. The trolling in Lake Tahoe or Donner Lake for Mackinaw, Lake Trout and Kokanee Salmon; the fly fishing in the Truckee River for Brown, Rainbow and Brook trout is unsurpassed in the West. Golden Trout, the shyest and most sensitive of the trout family, may be caught in the "high" country lakes and streams.
There are very few regions in the western United States where so many various types of courses are located in such a small area. The golfing opportunities on the North Shore abound, from short nine-hole layouts to long championship courses, wide-open links-style settings to mountainous tree-lined fairways. There are eight courses in the area, one for every level of player and the type of golf they want to play.
Of course, the HIKING in this glorious region is unsurpassed. The trails are as often used for MOUNTAIN BIKING as well. From the novice to the highly experienced, adventure-seeking athlete, this region offers an abundance of the most diverse hiking and biking terrain in the country. If you do not want to explore new territory by yourself, there are several "ADVENTURE COMPANIES" in the area geared to your particular special interest who organize day trips, week trips, whatever your wish may be.
The stimulus of WILDLIFE watching naturally goes along with trail hiking and biking. Because this is a four-season ecosystem, the variety of animal species and bird species is amazing. Hours can just vanish when you pull out your binoculars, sit and observe the antics of whatever denizen of nature that catches your fancy.
