CARR LONG REAL ESTATE SUMMER FUN IN TRUCKEE AND LAKE TAHOE In the summer there is so much outdoor fun to be had here in the Truckee and Lake Tahoe area that deciding what to do can feel a bit overwhelming. Outdoor Fun Maybe you are looking for something to do that will be fun and appropriate for the entire family. Family Fun Perhaps you want an adventure that is more rigorous and challenging, taking you out into the vast terrain that sits literally minutes away from the center of downtown Truckee. Challenging Fun Suffice it to say that no matter where your interest lies, whether it be mountain biking, hiking, camping, golfing, wind surfing, paddle boarding, or kayaking, Tahoe has it all–not to mention a plethora of fun to be had once the sun starts dipping low in the summer sky. Endless Adventure For someone who is in search of the perfect hike, but who is yet to familiarize him or herself with the area’s selection of trails, the Truckee Donner Land Trust provides guided hikes at no cost! Endless Adventure The guided tour into Lower Carpenter Valley Nature Preserve has an abundance of wild flowers that carpet the ground and participants can view wildlife in its natural habitat. What makes this hike special is that the land is not yet available to the public as the Land Trust is in the process of acquiring the land. Lower Carpenter Valley For those looking for a more demanding expedition, the Shirley Canyon Trail starts at the bottom of Squaw Valley. Along the way you will see rushing waterfalls, serene lakes, jagged rock formations, and lush green vegetation. Shirley Canyon Trail On Truckee Thursdays the town comes together to support local artists, vendors, and restaurants, all of whom set up tents and booths along the historic section of Donner Pass Road in downtown Truckee. Truckee Thursdays We have only scratched the surface here of what our beautiful area has to offer. There is simply too much to cover in one post. I hope this gives you a few options to get you started and on your way to enjoying the vast array of Truckee/Tahoe activity! Be safe, be sound, and have FUN!
