Fall colors are starting to emerge on Tahoe’s mountainsides and soon brilliant displays of autumn golds, reds and yellows will change the landscape beckoning hikers and mountain bikers to return to old favorites and to explore new trails to enjoy the changing of the seasons.
Tim Hauserman shares some of his favorites trails for fall colors along with some favorite hikes that are less crowded in September and October from Mount Tallac to Page Meadows and Marlette Lake in “Autumn trails” in this issue.
Casey Glaubman found a unique biking adventure in Tahoe with Bike Night where bikers of all ilk take to local golf courses at night festooned in all manner of costumes and lights for a fun race for all ages.
