Favorite things to do in Truckee, CA in the winter

Truckee is a quaint mountain town on Donner Lake, about 30 minutes away from the area’s main attraction, the mighty Lake Tahoe. Although the "big lake" gets most of the attention, IMO Truckee is the best downtown to find a cozy spot to relax after a long day on the slopes.

  One of the best things to do in Truckee is explore on foot. There are so many hidden gems and historic building to see - make sure to reserve time for lollygagging.
