Your Holistic Guide to What to Do in Lake Tahoe in October
Where to See the Best Fall Foliage
The signature trademark of summer turning to fall is the leaves changing color. When the Cottonwood trees leaves begin to turn from green to gold, you know autumn is near in the Tahoe area. Gaze in any direction and youâre sure to observe breathtaking sights. It can be as simple as looking out from your car window or from the deck of your vacation rental! However, go the extra mile (or 10!) to Mount Rose Highway Summit in North Lake Tahoe to view nature in its Golden Hour. At this summit, the views of golden meadows surround you. The trail is easily accessible and great for families with small children. Or, solo and couples travelers might enjoy hiking 10 miles to the top of this summit for aerial views of Lake Tahoe, Reno, and Carson City. Explore Tahoe Area Hiking Trails
Hiking is a popular year-round activity in North Lake Tahoe. Whatâs great about this area is that our North Lake Tahoe hiking trails are versatile. They change with the seasons and while the challenge might be the same each season, youâre sure to never have the same experience twice! This is especially true for the Tahoe Rim Trail. This is the most popular trailhead in the Tahoe area because it follows along the perimeter of Lake Tahoe. Experience this year-round destination through a different lens when you visit Lake Tahoe in October.
