Reno Tahoe Trifecta

Reno Tahoe Trifecta of Summer Adventures

06.01.2017

When it comes to spending a weekend adventuring outdoors, you want the whole enchilada—an epic weekend taking you from mountaintops to lakefronts to the desert. Make it happen in Reno Tahoe, where a trifecta of classic adventures is basically in your backyard.

Part 1: Bike one of the most beautiful mountain bike trails in the world. The Flume Trail is a classic: 14 miles of rollicking terrain and spectacular vistas including a brilliant panorama of Lake Tahoe from 8,000 feet.

Part 2: Hike or bike the dog-friendly 4.8-mile Tunnel Mountain Trail, an out-and-back adventure featuring Monkey Rock, famous for its resemblance to a gorilla.

Part 3: Bag Tahoe’s second tallest peak, Mount Rose. This 10.6-mile (round-trip) dog-friendly summit hike has the three big W’s: waterfalls, wildflowers, and wildlife … plus killer views of Lake Tahoe. Ready for more? Hit up Reno to rock climb in the heart of downtown on the world’s tallest climbing wall.

Bow-wow Bonus: Reno Tahoe has lots of dog-friendly trails.
