Always a great place to come skiing, but can get pretty crowded these days. I suppose most of the slopes in the area are pretty crowded now than what I remembered years ago. If you are in the area, definitely one of the places to stop and play in the snow.

North star is a great resort on the backside. Front gets too crowded with new/ intermediate skiers. Best on the backside on pow days where all the Bay Area peeps can't handle the cold and leave the fresh layers for the non-faint of heart.

Ride the Truckee Bike Park

Truckee bike park is a great destination for all ages of bike riders. There are several different features including a pump track, dual slalom course, dirt jumps, strider track and more! This park is kid friendly but be sure to pack a helmet and pads especially for first-timers. More experienced riders will enjoy the downhill oriented blue and black diamond rated dirt jump lines. Many of the ju...

China Cove Loop at Donner Lake

This is a casual hike in an area with a ton of history. Stop by the museum before or after your hike to learn about the Donner Party, the Transcontinental Railroad, and local Native Americans Park at the Donner Lake and Memorial State Park Visitor Center and walk west towards the lake. Cross the bridge and follow Donner Creek towards the lake, then head left for what would be a clockwise route...

Mt. Judah Loop Trail

A wonderful hike in Lake Tahoe is the Mt. Judah Loop Trail that offers sweeping views of Donner Lake and the surrounding Sierra Nevada mountains on the North Shore. As a resident on the North Shore, many of my recreational activities favor this side of the Lake but there are marvelous hikes in every region surrounding the lake. The Mt. Judah Loop Trail veers off from the famed Pacific Crest...

Cross-Country Ski to Drifter Hut

Set out from the Tahoe Donner Cross Country center in Truckee at 6,650 feet elevation. Day passes range from $12 to $34, depending on time of day and skier age, and provide access to over 100 kilometers of groomed trails. Leaving the day lodge, there are multiple options for skiing up to Drifter Hut. A favorite route is to link up the Night Hawk, Little Dipper, Big Dipper, Boot Hill, Crazy Hors...

Donner Lake Public Docks

In the northwest corner of Donner Lake, there are public docks run by the Truckee Donner Recreation & Parks district. It's free to lay out your towels and hang out, but there is a fee for launching boats on the ramp. Come over in the late afternoon, enjoy the sunset, and go for a swim as the sun goes down!

Donner Lake Rim Trail: Johnson Canyon to Trout Creek

A perfect Sunday hike on your way back from a weekend at Lake Tahoe. Exit I-80 at Donner Lake and take the dirt road on the north side of I-80 to a large parking lot. A mild climb followed by a set of tougher switchbacks leads you to great views from Donner Ridge. Although adventuring out on the Donner Rim trail is easiest during the spring, summer, and fall, with the right equipment, it can...
