If you’ll be visiting Lake Tahoe this autumn, we encourage you to take a day trip to the beautiful Apple Hill! This is a wonderful time of year to explore apple orchards, sample fresh apple pies and ciders and celebrate the fall season. Founded in 1964 and now representing over 50 local family farms, Apple Hill offers apple picking, wineries, flower gardens, Christmas tree farms and other fruit and vegetable gardens. On the Apple Hill website, you can find links to a map, harvest schedules, events, apple varieties, COVID-19 safety precautious, an interactive app and more!

Happy travels!

Lake Tahoe Thunderbird Tours

Posted on July 7, 2020Author The Perennial Traveler1 Comment

A unique way to explore Lake Tahoe, and one of its most historic estates, is to cruise a 1950 woody to Thunderbird Lodge. The cruise begins on the east shore, where the captain and crew will offer you a continental breakfast along with a fascinating history of this beautiful area. Once you reach Thunderbird Lodge, you’ll enjoy a walking tour of the estate, including the Thunderbird Yacht (one of the most valuable wood boats in the world), followed by a picnic lunch overlooking one of the most beautiful views you’ll ever see. This cruise is a delightful, one-of-a-kind experience, and we highly recommend it! Find more information here. Or choose from a range of other tours, by land or boat, to explore this unique area.

Happy travels!
