Sunlight is a constantvisitor to the Reno-Tahoe

region. The sun shines

more than 300 days a

year here, which makes

all things possible.

And everything absolutely

warm and wonderful.

This is no normal travel planner.This is the Reno-Tahoe Periodic Table of Elements,

which, when combined, transforms the region into

a spectacular destination. We’re talking rare forms

found only in this special corner of the western

United States, stuff like Ou365 — 365 days of outdoor

fun ranging from day-hiking and trail-riding to

whitewater kayaking and paragliding.

You’ll experience exotic compounds like

Sr18Li168Sn40 —Tahoe basin’s 18 ski and board

resorts (the largest concentration of resorts, by the

way, in North America) with 168 total lifts and some

40 feet of annual snowfall. And Gc50 — the 50-plus

golf courses within a 90-minute drive of Reno.

And Ex24 — 24-hour excitement, including casino

gaming, world-class entertainment and an incredible

variety of nightlife.

And don’t forget the rich amalgams of dining,

shopping, an exuberant downtown arts and

music scene, and a full calendar of special events

like the National Championship Air Races, the

Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-Off, Hot August

Nights, the Reno-Tahoe Blues Fest and more.

The Reno-Tahoe region is a host of entertaining

cities and towns. Sparks, Reno’s sister city, is right

next door, while Incline Village and Crystal Bay

represent the Tahoe delegation. The inviting aspect

is that each locale is within an easy drive of the

other. So it’s not unreasonable to start with a few

days of skiing or boating, and then add a day-trip to

historic Virginia City. Embellish your stay with a

morning round of golf, a lazy afternoon strolling

through Scheels – the World’s Largest All-Sports

Store, a dinner show and an evening of gaming.

You might even throw in some boutique browsing

along the Truckee River.

Or bring the whole family to see the Great Reno

Balloon Race. Then add a day of guided fishing for

huge trout at Tahoe, a leisurely hike through Sierra

aspen groves, a visit to the National Automobile

Museum, and an afternoon watching the Reno Aces

at the brand-new downtown ballpark and Stadium

Entertainment District.

All the elements are here. Now it’s up to you to

study up and prepare for your perfect vacation.

Have it your way, everyday you’re here. There

are really no boundaries

on what you can do

in Reno-Tahoe. Indoors

to out, mild to wild,

action to relaxation…

all of it in grand style.

We like our games hot, music live and nightlife that goes intothe wee hours. That’s how we roll.

En1 – En te r ta i nmen t

May we offer

a suggestion:

Get plenty of rest

prior to your

arrival. With all

the ways to entertain

yourself here,

you’ll appreciate

the friendly advice.

From kid-friendly shows to high-stakes poker and a vibrant, upscale clubscene, we’ll keep your evening dance card full.With so much outdoor activity, you can almost forget Reno-Tahoe’s dizzying array of indoor excitement (Ie78) — atleast until the sun sinks behind the Sierra and the neon lights flicker on.

Start at your favorite casino (Ca21). Stake out a blackjack table with friends, settle in for a few hands of liveTexas Hold ’Em, or just spin some slot reels (Sr10) before heading to the showroom for a Cirque-style extravaganza —family-friendly or adults-only.

Or catch one of the pop superstars, country legends or comic icons that regularly play the new 7,000-seatDowntown Events Center (Ec59). Getting up close and personal with local rockers, traveling bluesmen or jazz virtuososat one of dozens of intimate live-music venues throughout Reno, Sparks and Tahoe’s North Shore is an easy ticket too.Particularly when you catch one of the dozens of free summer concerts at Rollin’ on the River in downtown Reno, orin the summer, at the weekly Sparks Farmer’s Market on Victorian Avenue. After the show, hit one of the glitteringconstellations of posh lounges — both independent and inside the casinos — complete with top DJs,state-of-the-art sound and projection, VIP booths and bottle service.

And perhaps the most appealing aspect is that your evening journey usually involves short walks or cab rides, asthe pods of entertainment areas are conveniently close to each other.

Dn 101 – D in i ng

Give your curiosityfree rein and try out

the range of menus

offered here. It’s a

delightful journey

that takes you to the

four culinary corners

of the earth in one

wonderful vacation.

Dn 101 – D in i ng

The sheer quality ofthe dining at Reno-Tahoe

is staggering. The

burger shops aren’t

your typical burger

shops. The noodle joints,

not your average

noodle joints. And the

haute cuisine is

undeniably hot. Enjoy.

It’s simple: The chefs bring their finest to your table. You indulge. You neverhave the desire to cook for yourself again. Ever.There was a time when the words “casino” and “buffet” seemed married to each other. That was a long time ago.The dining scene around Reno, Sparks and Lake Tahoe has taken on more delectable terms. Like Charlie Palmer’s.Restaurante Orozko. Bistro Roxy. Harrah’s Steak House… Even the casino buffets have become events untothemselves, offering truly sophisticated spreads at a great value.

In fact, you could have three meals a day for a month in all the casinos without eating at the same place twice.Options range from 24-hour coffee shops to stylish, romantic bistros to contemporary fine dining to thequintessential steak house.

Reno-Tahoe’s rapidly expanding culinary boundaries, though, encompass far more. Smaller urban eateries offerethnic flavors from Mexican to Ethiopian, with menus ranging from Peg’s massive, fresh ham steaks and the weird,wonderful omelets at the Squeeze Inn, to fine French fare at Beaujolais Bistro and fresh fish at Sushi Pier.

For lunch, grab a sandwich and a pint at the Great Basin Brewing Company or Silver Peak Brewery, or arguablythe best burger in town at Big Ed’s Alley Inn (the legendary Awful Awful at the Nugget Diner shares the crown,but goes down better after midnight).

Later, tuck into a family-style Basque feast at Louis’ Basque Corner or the Santa Fe, savor the fruits of Reno’srich Italian heritage at one of half a dozen great eateries, or see what’s on this week’s menu at a crop of hip, excitingkitchens like LuLou’s and Sezmu.

You’ll eat well because adventures attract appetites.

The brand nameson the side of

the bags say everything.

Be sure to work

a day or two

of shop-wandering

into your stay.

“An empty suitcase…?” You’ll thank us later.It stands to reason that a mecca for outdoor adventure like Reno-Tahoe would be ready to outfit visitors accordingly— and we are.

Between the 125,000-square-foot Cabela’s — World’s Foremost Outfitter store in Verdi, the brand new 295,000-square-foot Scheels — the World’s Largest All-Sports Store at The Legends at the Sparks Marina, and a half-dozenother sport and outdoor specialty stores like REI and Orvis, we have you covered. Don’t miss the Patagonia Outlet,either, where you’ll find great deals on top-shelf technical and casual apparel.

Don’t think for a minute, though, that outdoor gear is all you’ll find here. The open-air Summit Sierra centerhouses more than 70 shops, restaurants and salons, with names like J. Crew, bebe, Hollister, Aldo, Pottery Barn,M·A·C and Coach.

Nearby Meadowood Mall is home to another 100 shops, while The Legends at Sparks Marina, a million-square-foot mega-development that opened in fall 2008 will continue to add new retailers while it completes build-out inthe coming years. Plans call for Legends to include 10 restaurants, an IMAX theater and a resort casino, in additionto a long list of specialty shops.

For an entirely different experience, explore the boutique districts along the Riverwalk and California Avenue,where you’ll find one-of-a-kind gems like the Kalifornia Jean Bar, La Terre Verte and Lucky Star Western AmericanaGallery. For retro threads, campy accessories and killer bargains on designer labels, hit up one of two true Renooriginals — Rad Betty’s and Labels.

We’re serious about that extra suitcase.

Oh the racks, the shelves, the aisles… Let the shopping commence.

Scan Reno-Tahoe’s calendar and you might wonder why we’re notcalled America’s “Event-ure” Place.The variety and magnitude of celebrations, competitions and exhibitions are staggering. Amongthe biggies are June’s Reno Rodeo (RR00), “The Wildest, Richest Rodeo in the West;” Hot AugustNights (HAN23), a 10-day extravaganza of nostalgia for ’50s and ’60s cars, music and culture;and The Great Reno Balloon Race (BR90) in September, a spectacle of color and light and flightperfect for early-rising families.

We race bikes at the Northstar-at-Tahoe Tour de Nez, a quirky festival of all things pedal-powered; planes at the high-octane, high-excitement National Championship Air Races; and camelsat the raucous Virginia City International Camel Races.

The Reno River Festival in spring brings top freestyle kayakers, locals and visitors togetherfor a sunny celebration of the Truckee River and the coming summer, while Sparks welcomes theMasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour and the late summer’s Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-off,which come to the marina and downtown Victorian Avenue, respectively.

And that rumble you’re feeling in your feet, that’s Street Vibrations. Every spring and fall,bikers from around the country – even Hawaii! – gather and ride and ride and ride.

At Tahoe, the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival casts the bard’s timeless dramas against thetimeless beauty of the lake on an outdoor stage at Sand Harbor, and the Concours d’Eleganceshowcases the lake’s unmatched fleet of classic wooden powerboats.

Whatever you’re into, chances are we race it, judge it, ride it, or show it off in grand fashion.Check out the calendar for a complete list of the region’s special events, at VisitRenoTahoe.com.

All We Need Is a Good Reason to Get Together.

From classical interpretations to displays by Bohemian tribes –and every shape, color and form in between – there’s

something for every eye and ear.

Ac1 – Ar t s & Cu l t u re

Like our lineupof special events,

Reno-Tahoe’s

arts scene is as lively

as it is eclectic.

The Reno-Tahoe Arts Scene Rivals Our Outdoor Landscapes.Take a break from the slopes or the trail and get to know our other side with a stroll around the Riverwalk ArtsDistrict (AD21) in downtown Reno. The delightful new district is enjoying a renaissance 10 years in the making. It hasspawned a vibrant collection of artistic communities, shops and pubs like the one proudly stationed at the RiversideArtist Lofts in the historic Riverside Hotel (c. 1925).

Exhibitions of all media flourish throughout the communities. The Sierra Arts Gallery in the Riverside and numerousother galleries and coffee houses, many within an easy walk, give you plenty to ponder. Then visit the NevadaMuseum of Art, designed by internationally renowned architect Will Bruder, to see world-class touring exhibitionsas well as the rooftop sculpture garden. Guided tours are free with admission.

Musically, the region enjoys the talents brought to the stage by the Reno Philharmonic Orchestra, the NevadaOpera and the Reno Chamber Orchestra. On more relaxed notes, you’ll find weekly summer outdoor concerts atRollin’ on the River and the Sparks Hometowne Farmer’s Market, as well as from the many bands that play in thehundreds of clubs that liven up the landscape.

Cultural and artistic vitality is on full display during Artown as well. For the entire month of July, Reno indulges ina community-wide celebration of the visual and performing arts that the National Endowment for the Arts has calledone of the most comprehensive arts festivals in the country.

Reno and Sparks also bear witness to perhaps the world’s largest gathering of artists and their admirers duringthe annual Burning Man Festival. Every year, upwards of 40,000 people pass through the cities on their way to theplaya for a Labor Day week-long celebration of human individuality.

For calendars and exhibits, scope out the Arts pages on VisitRenoTahoe.com.

Ex365 – Exp lo re

No matterwhat direction

you choose,

you’ll find yourself

in the great

outdoors that surrounds

Reno-Tahoe

in a very short

amount of time.

Once there,

you are free to roam.

Ex365 – Exp lo re

There are hundredsof ways to

enjoy the outside.

And all of them

will make you happy.

Hiking, biking, riding, climbing, off-roading, ballooning — outdoor adventureis everywhere in Reno–Tahoe. Pick your adventure and play!Sandwiched between the great peaks of the Sierra Nevada (Sn72) and the wide-open spaces of the Great Basin(Gb35), the region made up of Reno, Sparks and Lake Tahoe is the ultimate base camp for the full spectrumof outdoor adventure, from easygoing family fun to fasten-your-seatbelts-and-return-your-tray-to-the-upright-position thrills.

Hike shady streamside trails in the foothills west of town, wander from beach to secluded beach along a roadlessstretch of Tahoe’s eastern shore, or pack a summit picnic for the climb to the top of 10,776-ft. Mount Rose (Mr776),which commands sweeping views of the entire region.

Prefer cowboy boots to hiking boots? Saddle up for a leisurely trail ride or gallop among wild mustangs in theVirginia Range. Want to go self-propelled? Rent a mountain bike or bring your own. The Flume Trail (Ft28), arguablythe most famous ride on this or any other planet, is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

Internal combustion your thing? Take a guided ATV tour of the Great Basin outback. Want to see Reno, Sparksand the Lake from a dramatically different perspective? Float over it in a hot air balloon. Heart rate still not upenough? Rope up for a rock-climbing lesson at Donner Summit.

And that’s just the highlight reel. Feast your adventurous eyes on VisitRenoTahoe.com for the big picture.

Reno-Tahoe gets snow.As in, we get a lot

of snow. Upwards of

40 feet a year.

Once it lands,

we put it to good use.

Come join us.

L i v e t o S l i d e , S l i d e t o L i v e .Reno-Tahoe hosted the first televised winter Olympics in 1960.Our enthusiasm for winter and all of its many pleasures continues

undiminished to this day.Nowhere else on the planet do so many resorts offer so many different ridingexperiences so close to such a cool place.Squaw Valley USA. Heavenly Lake Tahoe. Northstar-at-Tahoe™. Alpine Meadows… The marquee resorts are legendary— and for good reason: Incredible terrain, from freefall steeps to oceanic bowls to miles of tasty corduroy cruisers;sheer size, with some 14,000 skiable acres and 95 lifts between the big four. And perfect weather (Pw60), with weeksof bluebird skies (Bs33) and mild temperatures, punctuated only by the brief, intense storms that dump upwards of40 feet a year. (Picture four stories of snow!)

But limit yourself to just the headliners, and you’d miss out on maybe the best thing about skiing Reno–Tahoe —the incredible diversity of the area’s 18 alpine resorts.

More specifically, you’d miss out on the funky, retro feel of gems like Donner Ski Ranch and the sweeping views(Sv88) of Tahoe from Diamond Peak and Homewood Mountain Resort.

You’d miss out on Kirkwood Mountain Resort’s nonexistent lift lines and freakish snowfall totals (close to 70 feet onerecent winter!) and Boreal Mountain Resort’s Olympic-caliber superpipe and the hundreds of man-made terrain features.

You’d overlook The Chutes (Tc00) at Mt. Rose–Ski Tahoe, some of the steepest, triple black-diamond lift-servedterrain on the continent just 25 minutes from downtown and... well, we’ll leave at least a few secrets for you todiscover on your own.

If downhill skiing and snowboarding are not your brands of snow play, consider this: There are nearly 1,000 km ofcross-country skiing trails to traverse. For the off-piste free-heelers, boarders, snowshoers and backcountry touringtypes, you’ll find glades, peaks, vales and untracked fluff as only Mother Nature (Mn01) can manufacture.

Several outfitters will also take you and your family on snowmobiling, dog-sledding and sleigh-ride tours, or setyou and the kids up with a tube and saucer and send you down free-wheeling sled runs. Downtown Reno even firesup Rink on the River each winter for skaters, little and large.

If there’s snow, we’ll show you how to enjoy it to the fullest.

About the onlyclass of water

you won’t find

in the Reno-Tahoe

region is some form

of ocean. Not that

you’ll notice.

The bodies of water

here keep locals

and visitors alike

wet and smiling.

What happens to the amazing winter snowpack come spring? It melts intothat vital substance every body needs.From lounging on a sun-splashed Tahoe beach (Tb98) to paddling the Truckee River to tussling with Pyramid Lake’s(Pl21) indigenous monster cutthroat trout, Reno-Tahoe has a lot more to offer in the way of aquatic fun than youmight think.

There’s wakeboarding and waterskiing at Tahoe, of course, and paddle-wheeler cruises and swimming andpersonal watercraft rentals. But think too about renting a sea kayak to explore Tahoe’s hidden coves, or charteringa boat to go after huge mackinaw, or maybe parasailing.

Right in the heart of Reno, the Truckee River (Tr65) Whitewater Park attracts not only the world’s best freestylekayakers, but also tubers, rafters and spectators. There are even calm pools ideal for soakers and dippers ofall sizes. Longer rafting and kayaking runs begin upstream from town and depending upon your put in and when, youcould enjoy Class 4 whitewater. The Truckee offers anglers an array of game fish. Browns, brookies, rainbows andcutthroat over the years have given the river a cult-like following among fisher-people of all persuasions.

In Sparks (Sp44), Wild Island Family Adventure Park sends kids and their grownups on a water-based free-for-all,with cutting-edge slides, wave pools, and the easy going Lazy River. A second whitewater park is set to open insummer 2009, and the 77-acre lake at Sparks Marina (Sm9) is ideal for swimming, sunning, flat-water kayaking andbeach volleyball. In August, the Marina comes alive with whirlybirds, Pete Rose’s tantrums and other professionalcraziness, as The MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour hits the water.

Dive, splash, play, go fish. Last one in is a ???.

Perhaps Reno-Tahoe’slove of golf borders

on the fanatical. But

last time we checked,

no one was complaining

about the 50 courses

and the variety of play

they could select from.

With 50 courses in the Reno—Tahoe footprint, flip a coin and line upyour shot.Reno and Sparks lie at the gravitational center of a 900-hole universe of golf that spreads west to Tahoe, south toCarson City and Genoa, east to Dayton, and north to Graeagle.

At high desert courses like D’Andrea, Dayton Valley and Wildcreek, emerald greens contrast dramatically withdusky sagebrush and craggy basalt outcrops. At Tahoe, stately ponderosa pines crowd the shady fairways of house-hold names like Edgewood Tahoe, home of the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship.

Our thinner air — elevations range from 4,400 feet in Sparks to 6,300 feet at Tahoe — means life-changing drives,but you’ll also find plenty of technical links-style masterpieces that reward precision over power.

Golf is imminently affordable here, too. You’ll be hard-pressed to find green fees over $100, and you can stillplay an afternoon round at the historic 1934 Washoe County Golf Course for $20.

Every summer (Aug. 3-9, 2009) the PGA TOUR stops through town, too, for the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open(LRTO) at Montrêux. A favorite stop for players, the LRTO is also uniquely fun for spectators, who enjoy margaritas,tacos and a mariachi band on 16, a shish kebab cook-off on 17, wine-tasting stations throughout the course, and a kids’fun zone.

Point Your FrontBumper That Way…

Virginia City and Carson City Loop

Mines, Mansions and MuseumsFrom the south end of Reno, follow winding GeigerGrade (Highway 341) up through the steep canyons ofthe Virginia Range. There are several scenic overlooksoffering near-aerial views of Reno-Sparks to catchbefore continuing over the crest to Virginia City.

Virginia City, the archetypal mining boomtown,sprang into being in 1859 when silver was discoverednearby. The $400 million worth of gold and silveryielded by the Comstock Lode helped the Union fundthe Civil War and essentially built San Francisco.

Today, the town and its surroundings comprisethe country’s largest National Historic Landmark.Quirky shops, saloons and gambling houses line thecreaky wooden sidewalks, and numerous museums andtours recall the wild, wooly days of the 1860s.

See the Fourth Ward School, the Way It WasMuseum and do an underground mine tour, but don’tmiss the haunting (and haunted?) old graveyards downthe hill from town. Guided tours are available, or youcan walk through on your own.

From Virginia City, head down through pictur-esque Gold Hill and Silver City to Carson City. Checkout the commanding 1871 Nevada Capitol Building, thesecond-oldest capitol west of the Mississippi, and thenearby Nevada State Museum, housed in the oldCarson City Mint building.

For history buffs, the Kit Carson Trail walk-ing/driving tour is a don’t-miss, leading through shadybackstreets past Victorian-style homes dating from the1850s and 60s, including that of Mark Twain’s olderbrother, Orion Clemens, Nevada’s first TerritorialSecretary.

On your way back to Reno, take Old 395 insteadof the main highway and stop off at Bowers Mansion,built in 1863 for an estimated $300,000 by a couplemade suddenly wealthy by the Comstock mining boom.It’s now the centerpiece of a peaceful county park.

Wanna see more? Hit the roadfor one of hundreds offascinating day trips aroundReno, Sparks and Lake Tahoe.Here are a few of our favorites,and each can be completedround-trip in a day or less.

Lake Tahoe Up Close and Personal

A Picture Is Only Worth1,000 WordsOf course you’ll have to get past the breathtakingviews first. One of the best overlooks is at the sweepingswitchback on the Mt. Rose Highway (431), betweenMount Rose Summit and Incline Village. You can’t miss it.

After basking in the beauty and recording themoment, follow Highway 28 around the north shorethrough low-key Kings Beach and Carnelian Bay. In TahoeCity, visit the Gatekeeper’s Museum and nearby FannyBridge, so named for the rear ends of visitors leaningover the rail to see the monster trout finning in the clearwater below. This is also the headwaters of the TruckeeRiver, which flows through Reno and Sparks on its way toPyramid Lake.

On the lake’s relatively unknown western shore,stop at Sugar Pine Point State Park, where the historicEhrman Mansion, built in 1901, is hidden by one of thebasin’s most pristine tracts of forest. The giant cones ofthe park’s namesake trees can be collected from theundergrowth, and the uncrowded swimming beach is a treat.

Near the southwest corner of the lake, the shoresof iconic Emerald Bay are a one-mile hike from theroadside parking area. Take a guided tour of Vikingsholm,the 38-room, Scandinavian-inspired beachside summermansion built in 1929 by Mrs. Lora J. Knight. You’ll wantto walk a quarter mile up Eagle Creek for a once-in-a-lifetime view of nearby Eagle Falls and take in the viewsat the top of the road.

South Lake Tahoe and Stateline are home to allsorts of shopping, ranging from art galleries to boutiquesto outlet malls, as well as a variety of dining options.For more great lake views, ride the Heavenly Gondola —open winter and summer — up to 9,123 feet, where you’llfind a huge observation deck with picnic tables and a cafe.

Tour yet another historic mansion, the ThunderbirdLodge, built in 1936 by notorious playboy GeorgeWhittell, Jr. on a secluded, rocky stretch of the easternshore. From there, it’s a few short miles back to theMount Rose Highway.

There’s more to Lake Tahoe than legendary skiingand pristine water. This leisurely drive loopsaround the continent’s largest alpine lake toreveal charming towns, shopping, stunning vistasand Tahoe’s fascinating history.

Downtown Reno has enjoyed a remarkablerenaissance over the past decade, and a walkingtour of the Truckee River Arts District makes awonderful day trip in itself. Here’s a good route:

Truckee River Arts DistrictWalking Tour

The Heart of Art in RenoStarting at the intersection of Virginia and First streets, headwest (upstream) along First, dropping in on whichever art gallery,boutique, coffee house or restaurant catches your eye, such asthose at the West Street Market. You might even want to tagalong on a Saturday Downtown Wine Walk, should you time itright. Take note of the stately 1926 First Methodist Church at209 West First.

A few steps farther you’ll come to Arlington Avenue.A left takes you across the Truckee River. Wander up the shorthill where you’ll see the McCarran Mansion on the right and theLake Mansion on the left. The McCarran manse was home toSen. Patrick McCarran (he served from 1933 until his death in1954), while the Lake Mansion was home to bridge tender/ownerMyron C. Lake. The location of the Lake residence, now thehome of Very Special Arts, is its third resting spot, having beenmoved twice prior.

Continue on Arlington until you hit California Avenue. You’llfind the Chocolate Bar across the intersection. After satisfyingyour sweet tooth, head east (downstream) along California.You’ll find more funky eateries and shops. When you come toHill Street, turn left. The enormous building before you, coveredin plates of black zinc, is the Nevada Museum of Art. Be sureto ask a docent about the building’s history. It’s nothing shortof a wonder in and of itself.

Reemerge into reality; turn left on Liberty Street for threeblocks until you land again at Arlington. Head toward the Truckeeagain until you reach the Riverwalk. Follow it downstream,keeping the Truckee on your left. Turn right toward the RiversideArtist Lofts building at the Virginia Street bridge, and enjoy theshowings inside the Sierra Arts Gallery, on the bottom floor ofthe renovated Riverside hotel building.

You can go several directions from here, dependingupon your desires. Perhaps the best direction to take now is toVisitRenoTahoe.com for a listing of the various artistic andcultural caches found throughout the region.

Pyramid Lake and Gerlach

Desert VoyageYou are looking at one of the strangest, most ecologicallyremarkable lakes in the world. The Truckee River, whichflows out of Tahoe, also feeds Pyramid Lake. The lakehas no outlet. Dissolved minerals in the water formedthe area’s fanciful rock formations, including the toweringstone pyramid on the eastern shore, and give the lakeits exotic color.

All of Pyramid is within the reservation of thePyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, which was living along itsshores centuries before the John C. Fremont expeditionspied the shimmering body of water in the 1840s.Explore the tribe’s history and culture at the PyramidLake Museum & Visitor Center in Nixon, at the southend of the lake.

All services, including fishing guides, use permitsand boat rentals, are available in Sutcliffe, and the nearbyfish hatchery offers tours. The west shore has plenty ofgood swimming beaches, but to get to the best one onthe lake, take Highway 447 north from Nixon and watchfor a signed left turn. A dirt road leads to a beach literallyin the shadow of the pyramid itself.

Another hour north on Highway 447 will put you inthe tiny town of Gerlach on the figurative shore of thegreat Black Rock Desert playa, home of the world landspeed record and the Burning Man Festival. You can fuelup (food and gas) at Bruno’s Country Club (try the ravioli– honestly) and the sole Shell station. And for exquisiteceramics, be sure to visit Planet X pottery in Gerlach.But call first to make sure they’re open.

Pyramid Lake may not be as large or deep asLake Tahoe, but it’s equally impressive. Whenyou crest the low ridgeline on Highway 445and find yourself suddenly overlooking a vastturquoise lake in the middle of the arid GreatBasin desert, you may wonder whether you’vedrifted into a daydream at the wheel.

Half-an-hour west of Reno via I-80, thequaint mountain town of Truckee, Californianestles among tall pines beside its namesakeriver. The old downtown, with its two-storybrick storefronts, is a few blocks of shoppingparadise, liberally sprinkled with eateries andbars ranging from local-eclectic to five-star.

Some 8,000 years ago, the lookout boulders ofGrimes Point lay along the shore of ancient Lake Lahontan,a shallow, marshy inland sea that spread its fingersthrough much of present day northwestern Nevada andinto northeastern California. Ancient Native Americansliving near the lake and hunting the game Lahontansupported left an extensive collection of petroglyphs –stone etchings – on those boulders.

Fallon Area’s Petroglyphs, Dunes and Wetlands

Stories in StoneToday, it’s hard to imagine that the area was once verdant andwet, but imagination is what the Grimes Point Petroglyph Trail isall about. Not even scientists really know how to interpret thecryptic marks and figures chipped into the boulders, so your owntheories are as good as any.

A few minutes beyond Grimes Point on Highway 50 istwo-mile-long, 600-foot-high Sand Mountain, a “singing dune”that occasionally utters a strange, low rumble, audible from milesaway. ATV enthusiasts flock here, but for a truly otherworldlyexperience, try riding the dune on an old snowboard.

Birders shouldn’t miss Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge,just north of Fallon. Listed as a Globally Important Bird Area,these incredibly rich wetlands are a stopover for tens ofthousands of migrating water birds, including avocets, stilts,dowitchers, ibises, egrets and phalaropes. More than 280 birdspecies have been spotted here.

Throughout your journey, you’ll see vestiges of Nevada’sagricultural roots mixed with modern military firepower. BothFallon and Fernley are farming and ranching communities thatrely upon the land – and the water routed from the Truckee River– to thrive. And several years ago, the Navy relocated its FighterWeapons School, known as Top Gun, from San Diego to Fallon.All are on ready display as you travel through the region.

Truckee and Squaw Valley

On Mountain TimeJust west of town, Donner Memorial State Park commemoratesthe tragic winter of 1846-47, when a party of emigrants bound forCalifornia was trapped here by heavy snows and more than halfof them starved. The Emigrant Trail Museum is fascinating, butdon’t miss nearby Donner Lake, a sort of mini-Tahoe with a greatswimming beach.

Along Highway 89 between Truckee and Tahoe City isSquaw Valley, where a year-round aerial cable car swoops visitors2,000 feet seemingly straight up to High Camp. In summer,lounge by the giant swimming lagoon with a frosty cocktail fromthe poolside bar; in winter, ski and/or board the peaks and runsthat churn out Olympic champions, and skate on an open-air rinkwith views of Tahoe. Then warm up with a hot drink and an appe-tizer in the High Camp Lodge.

Instead of driving, think about taking the train from Reno orSparks to Truckee and back during the summer months. The tim-ing is just right to grab lunch and explore town for a couple ofhours, and the one-hour, one-way ride through the Truckee Rivercanyon is both more scenic and more relaxing than driving.(Be sure to check the current AMTRAK schedule between thetwo towns before departing.)

One should never

underestimate the

importance of

perfect accommodations

and the settling,

bliss-like feeling that

comes from a spa session.

At Reno-Tahoe,

a collection of

flawless rooms and

sublime spas

await your arrival.

Zzz99SpA – Lodg ing and Spas

You’ll find thatthe attention to detail

goes well beyond

the simple mint on

the pillow and

latest rub fad. Indeed,

we take our sleeping

and rejuvenating

quite seriously,

which you should find

immensely satisfying.

When it’s time to recharge your batteries, choose your spa and claimyour pillow.Reno-Tahoe boasts dozens of hotel-casinos offering accommodations to suit any taste and any budget — frompalatial penthouses to simply comfortable rooms. In addition to the many downtown options, consider JohnAscuaga’s Nugget in Sparks for beautiful views of the Sierra and super-easy freeway access; the Atlantis CasinoResort Spa, which just unveiled a new world-class spa complex; and the Peppermill Resort Casino, with its recent$400-million expansion.

You’ll find a choice of ultra comfortable spas and decadent therapies, rubs and treatments, in most of thelarger hotel casinos.

If smaller scale is your style, we’ve got plenty of other options, including not only the familiar national brands,but also unique riverfront hotels and easygoing mom-and-pop motor lodges convenient to downtown.

Don’t forget Incline Village, either, home to a variety of cozy mountain inns, rental cabins and lakefrontresort-casinos, including the Hyatt Lake Tahoe, which recently completed a $20-million makeover, including the20,000-square-foot Stillwater Spa.

RENO–TAHOE

Wheels or wings, Reno–Tahoe is an easy tripfrom just about anywhere.Reno-Tahoe International Airport welcomes all the major carriers from aroundthe U.S. each day, with many non-stops and arrival times to select from.

For drivers, Reno and Sparks are located at the junction of Interstate80 and U.S. 395. It’s an easy and scenic drive from most of the 11 westernstates. I-80 provides all-weather access via Donner Summit from centraland northern California.

From southern California, it’s a straight shot up U.S. 395 along thedramatic eastern front of the Sierra Nevada.

From the Northwest, take I-5 south to I-80 or, in good weather,opt for the scenic shortcut that leaves I-5 at Mount Shasta and followsCalifornia 89 and 44 southeast through Susanville.

A third option is AMTRAK’s California Zephyr, which arrives dailyfrom the Bay Area and Sacramento to the west and Salt Lake and Denverto the east. Trains from the Northwest, coastal southern California andthe Central Valley connect to the Zephyr in Sacramento.

VisitRenoTahoe.com will paint the big picture, including flights, roadconditions, itineraries and such for your adventure-planning pleasure.

Adventure is Closer than You Think.
