: All I Need is Chai, Sunshine, and Snowfall in Tahoe! ☕❄️ After lots of research, I created an itinerary tailored to my stay in Truckee and the activities I wanted to try—snowshoeing, a fun treasure hunt race, and a must-see visit to Emerald Bay. While I couldn’t explore all of South Lake Tahoe, I did explore a lot of North Lake Tahoe, even venturing onto the Nevada side for a scenic hike. Here’s a breakdown of my trip: Day 1 🚗 Left the Bay Area at 7 AM and arrived at Donner Pass around 11 AM. 🌨️ Explored the Donner Summit and witnessed beautiful snowfall in Norden. 🏕️ Checked in at the luxurious @villagecampresorts glamping stay—highly recommend! 🍽️ Enjoyed dinner in downtown Truckee, a beautiful downtown. Day 2 👣 Went snowshoeing at Palisades, Olympic Village (stay tuned for a detailed reel!) 📍 Stopped at Truckee River Overlook for breathtaking views. 🍴 Had lunch in Tahoe City—great spots with lakefront views. 🗺️ Played a fun treasure game in Incline Village, completing tasks at scenic spots. 🏖️ Visited Incline Beach for a serene snowy vibe. 🐦 Hiked Chickadee Ridge hoping to see the famous Chickadee birds (bring birdseed to have them land on your hand!) and did more snowshoeing. Day 3 🏞️ Checked out and explored Northstar Village—don’t miss the free gondola ride! (Reel posted on how to take it.) 🌲 Drove to South Lake Tahoe and visited Emerald Bay State Park and Eagle Falls—absolute must-sees! 🚗 Left around 3 PM to avoid driving in the mountains after dark, arriving back in the Bay by 7 PM. Have you been to Tahoe this season? What’s your favorite activity there? Share your must-dos below! ✨ Travel Tip: We rented an AWD vehicle from @kyte, and I can’t recommend their hassle-free car rental experience enough! They deliver the car to your doorstep or let you pick it up at their location—it’s super easy and convenient! Follow along for more Tahoe content, including snowshoeing because I am not a skier! #laketahoe #bayarea #sfbayarea #sanfrancisco #truckee #truckeetahoe #emeraldbay #thingstodointahoe #visitcalifornia
