Studies show that even mini-breaks like a long weekend can recharge your energy, health and even your love life! So plan a trip now to take in the awesome colors, sights and tastes of the autumn season in the expansive West. Cooler temperatures, fewer crowds and better deals on accommodations and entertainment make fall a great time to travel.
Just a short drive from San Francisco, Reno and Sacramento, Lake Tahoe is one of the most pristine alpine lakes in the country. Azure, deep and cool, a 150 story building could be dropped into the center of it with no trace. Drawing crowds of watersport enthusiasts in summer, and skiers and snowboarders in winter, this gem is nearly forgotten during the fall season. Making it the perfect time for you to visit.
Plan a memorable day hike on the Glen Alpine Trail – which some say is the best day hike in the country. The vibrant colors of the trees, the sparkling water, and the pungent smell of the forest will make your worries seem hundreds of miles away.
Visit the southwestern shore and discover Emerald Bay State Park. Camping is great this time of year, with crackling fires, spiced cider and ghost stories. Just for fun, take in the 1929-era Nordic-style mansion called Vikingsholm; Lake Tahoe’s Hidden Castle.
Be sure to take time to investigate Bonsai Rock – located between Hidden Beach and Sand Harbor on the northeastern side of the lake. It is easily accessible from the road, making it a must-see stop for the nature photographers in the group.
