Things to Do
Lake Tahoe
Lake Tahoe is a must-see if you are visiting the Reno-Tahoe area for the first time. It has great beaches for a relaxing beach day and incredible hiking and mountain biking. It gets very busy for 4th of July weekend, so we recommend planning your trip to be in the Lake Tahoe area prior to that weekend.
Sand Harbor
To enjoy some beach time at Lake Tahoe, this is a great beach. It is very popular and parking fills up quickly so plan to arrive early (before 9 am is ideal).
Tahoe Rim Trail
This is a great hiking trail at Lake Tahoe with scenic views of the lake and surrounding areas.
Virginia City
Virginia City is an old Nevada mining town with lots of shops and historic buildings to explore. You can grab a beer at the Bucket of Blood Saloon or enjoy some sweet treats at Grandma's Fudge Factory.
Yosemite National Park
For anyone looking for more outdoor adventures, consider making a trip to Yosemite. It is 4-5 hours from Reno.
Midtown and Downtown Reno
If you are visiting Reno for the first time, you may be interested in exploring Midtown or Downtown. Check out this website for more information about Reno: https://travelnevada.com/cities/reno/.
