When most people think about Lake Tahoe, they think only of the lake, and not the vibrant eleven communities that surround this area. While the lake itself is a very important part of the region, these communities have much to offer the traveler, and provide a wide variety of summer activities that the whole family can enjoy, on and off the lake.
For those looking to experience the awe inspiring vistas and the mountains that surround Lake Tahoe, we recommend visiting Northstar, Squaw Valley or the community of Alpine Meadows.

Incline Village and Kings Beach also have a great selection of galleries and wonderful accommodations for the whole family.
How about some of the best dining in the region? Some of the world’s best and most eclectic restaurants can be found in West Shore or Tahoe Vista. There are also plenty of opportunities to spend your days walking along the river, hiking into the wilderness, mountain biking, fishing, playing a round of golf or enjoying a canoe ride. Once you’re done, come back to the communities for anything from casual to five star dining and a great place to stay.
