And if your Tahoe adventure has made you ready to move from a Huffy to a Harley, you’re in good company: Motorcycle buffs are often spotted on South Tahoe’s open roads.

Stroll, wander, stride, grab a selfie with some amazing scenery—your next adventure awaits. South Tahoe is crisscrossed by an extensive network of trails that wind through pine-scented woods and up slopes of glacier-carved granite. Take an easy loop along Lake Tahoe’s shoreline, visit a 100-foot waterfall or summit a 10,000-foot peak. Or maybe you’re ready to up your game and try a more rugged experience. Grab a backpack and head out for a few days of sweet backcountry solitude. And ©CONOR BARRY/AURORA PHOTOS; (INSET) ©ALAMY/AURORA PHOTOS

Winter Fun
EMBRACE THE CHILL Sure it's cold outside, but you didn't come here to sit. New adventures await!
(LEFT) ©RACHID DAHNOUN/LAKE TAHOE VISITORS AUTHORITY; ©ISTOCK
Starting as early as mid-November, Tahoe South is
24 TahoeSouth.com
transformed into a snow-covered winter wonderland. Celebrate winter in the Sierra by skiing, sledding, snowmobiling or ice-skating. Oh, so you’re a special snowflake nonconformist? You think snowboarding is too pedestrian? What about these lesser-known winter activities? Snowball Fight Flash Mob, or Snow Unicorn Contest (snowmen are played out, no?). You can even heed the call of the wild and go dogsledding. (Note: It is not recommended to hook your children up to a dogsled and shout “mush!” at them, even if it would be hilarious.) Remember: A flask is not a replacement for a parka. Bundle up!
ZIP LINES, TUBING MOUNTAIN COASTER & MORE
The gondola gets you to the summit - where you go from there is up to you. You’ll find everything from an all day adventure like the zip line canopy tour to quick thrills like the 3,400 foot long mountain coaster.

History & Heritage
BLAST FROM THE PAST From the Pony Express to Gilded Age resorts, Tahoe South is rich in history and lore. Picture it: a 100-foot barge floating out on Lake Tahoe with a full orchestra entertaining the guests on board. No, it’s not the party scene from “The Godfather Part II.” It’s a flashback to the 1880s, when Lucky Baldwin’s opulent hotel–casino attracted the rich and famous to Tahoe’s shores. Today you can stroll the grounds of Baldwin’s former digs at Tallac Historic Site or enjoy a concert in the Boathouse Theatre with Lake Tahoe as the backdrop. Other historic sites include Vikingsholm Castle and Valhalla, a turn-of-the-century summer home. Close by is a mother lode of Western history at Virginia City, where Mark Twain started his career; the Mormon Trading Post in Genoa; the Nevada State Railroad Museum; and the capitol building in Carson City.
