Tourist destinations to consider near Lake Tahoe are listed below. Click on any name for complete information.



Lassen Volcanic National Park
  Beneath Lassen Volcanic National Park's peaceful forests and gem-like lakes lies evidence of a turbulent and fiery past. The collision of continental plates here led to violent volcanic eruptions and the creation of twisted, hauntingly beautiful scenery.
     
Reno Population: 200000
  Reno, the "Biggest Little City in the World," is northwest Nevada's tourist hub. Combining with Sparks to make one large metro area, Reno has both its share of casinos, and an abundance of high quality adventure opportunities right at its doorstep, including Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada a short drive to the west.
     
Sacramento Population: 1700000
 

Sacramento is California’s state capital, located in the middle of the central Sacramento Valley. Visitors can check out a basketball game from hometown team the Kings, or take in the zoo, some theater, or fine cuisine in historic Old Sacramento.

     
Sierra Nevadas
  The Sierra Nevada of eastern California are one of the country’s most astounding treasures. These mountains are wild: wild geology, with glaciers and volcanoes, wild animal life like the state bear and the golden eagle, and even wild plant life in the immense sequoia forests. Encompassing three national parks, six national forests, and thousands of square miles of other protected areas, the Sierra Nevada is one of the largest islands of scenic wilderness remaining in the United States.
     
Truckee Population: 13864
  Pleasant, small and much it was in the 1800s, Truckee has a timeless, relaxed feel any day of the year.
     
Yosemite National Park
  Yosemite National Park encompasses a spectacular tract of mountain-and-valley scenery in the Sierra Nevada. The park harbors a grand collection of waterfalls, meadows, and forests that include groves of giant sequoias, the world's largest living things. Most famous is the awe-inspiring Half Dome, a massive granite rock face that juts dramatically out of the glacially-carved valley.
