Lake Tahoe and The High Sierras
Where there’s sun, there’s also snow. Discover’s California’s majestic mountain beauty year round with a trip to the High Sierras and Lake Tahoe.
With snow-covered peaks in winter, gushing waterfalls in spring, glistening lakes and wildflower meadows in summer and vibrant colours in autumn, Lake Tahoe and the High Sierras don’t just offer year round opportunities for outdoor adventure, they offer a wild and breathtaking beauty that can only be found in this part of California.
Originally a sacred gathering place for the tribes of the Washoe Nation – whose name for the area, Da-ow-a-ga, or “edge of the lake”, ultimately was adapted to “Tahoe” – the discovery of silver in the Sierra Nevada mountains brought fortune seekers and settlers, and by 1864, the first tourist destination in the region was built to bring the public to this place of incredible natural beauty.
Considered one of the USA’s finest ski resorts, the pristine turquoise waters of Lake Tahoe and the lush pines and sublime peaks of the High Sierras draw visitors year round. Go boating, fishing, hiking and mountain biking throughout spring, summer and autumn, then enjoy skiing and snowboarding across scenic vistas come winter. The options for outdoor pursuit in this area are endless.
