ANN MARIE BROWN
To most visitors, the Tahoe region is clearly defined by its 22-mile-long, azure lake, a noble sheet of blue water lifted six thousand three hundred feet above the level of the sea, and walled in by a rim of snow-clad mountain peaks, in the oft-quoted words of Mark Twain. The 10th-deepest lake in the world1,645 feet at its deepest pointand 3rd deepest in North America, Lake Tahoe is blessed with remarkable water clarity and a boulder-lined, sandy shoreline that makes it one of the most photogenic lakes in the West. By any measure, Lake Tahoe can be counted among the notable treasures of North Americas landscape.
Bordered by three federally designated wilderness areas, plus a huge swath of national forest and multiple California and Nevada state parks, the Tahoe basin is a veritable playground for outdoor enthusiasts. Its also a major tourist destination, with more than 250,000 visitors per day pouring in on summer holidays. Besides ogling the world-famous lake, most summer visitors come to hike, bike ride, or enjoy a wide variety of other outdoor sports. If you ever wanted to try rock climbing, fishing, horseback riding, sailing, ballooning, or boating, Tahoe is the place to do it. If you want more civilized outdoor fun, 14 golf courses around the lake provide it.

Although a greater number of people visit Tahoe in summer than in winter, it is Tahoes wealth of ski resorts that has made the lake an internationally recognized destination. More than a dozen alpine resorts are located near the lake, the largest concentration anywhere in the United States. A wide range of nonvertical activities are also available in Tahoes snowy wonderlandfrom ice-skating to snowshoeing to dogsled rides to snowmobile tours to sipping hot chocolate beside a roaring fire.
Year-round, travelers arrive in droves to play the odds at high-rise casinos on the Nevada side of the lake, where gambling is legal. A half-dozen Stateline casinos, plus a few more on the northeast shore, attract thousands of visitors who flock to Tahoe purely for its indoor recreation opportunities, including big-name entertainment, first-class restaurants, and ample nightlife.
Add up this bounty of opportunity and there lies the crux of the regions popularity: Lake Tahoe is one of few places on earth where, if you choose to, you can hike or ski to a pristine wilderness area, shop for a dinner dress, dine at a trendy bistro, and gamble the night away, all in a single day at the lake.

Which season is best at Lake Tahoe? The region enjoys about 275 days of sunshine per year on average, so visitors can enjoy pleasant days around the lake year-round. Each season has its charms, so plan your visit according to which recreational activities you enjoy the most.
While snow can fall as early as mid-October, and spring snowmelt may not happen until June, the most dependable months for skiing and winter sports are usually December-mid-April. If you are going to Tahoe during these months, be sure your tires and brakes are in good condition and that you carry chains for your vehicle, even if it has four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
Summer is a too-brief season that lasts only about three months (mid-June-mid-September), and in that time thousands of hikers, mountain bikers, boaters, and swimmers visit the lake. This is the most popular time of year for travel to Lake Tahoe, so make advance reservations for lodging and camping.
As a general rule of thumb, it is wise to avoid a trip to Tahoe on summer and winter holiday weekends. To completely avoid the crowds, consider a trip in the autumn off-season (September and October). This is one of the most pleasant periods at the lake, when Tahoes abundant aspen groves put on their annual golden-colored show and the weather is still warm and mild. The peaks, trails, and passes of the high country usually remain open and accessible until sometime in October when the first snowfall arrives. After Labor Day, most Tahoe lodgings lower their rates considerably, and they remain low until the Thanksgiving holiday.

Tahoes lowest visitation months are April and May, even in years when the ski resorts stay open until the end of April. Just like in autumn, this spring shoulder season is a great time for Tahoe travel bargains, although outdoor activities are limited because the ski season is waning but there is still too much snow for hiking, mountain biking, and other summertime sports.
