Truckee

Just north of Lake Tahoe in the High Sierras, Truckee is a small mountain town with big energy that is loaded with plenty of things to do, including hidden gems and outdoor activities.

The Truckee area was originally inhabited by the Washoe, Maidu and Paiute tribes, and then later by miners and settlers in the later 1860s. Truckee grew into a bustling mining town with plenty of wealth, excitement and debauchery to go around during the gold and silver rushes. Today, Truckee is full of great outdoor activities, food, shopping, art and numerous other things to do.
