2 million years ago, the Lake Tahoe Basin exploded onto the geological scene with massive tectonic plate shifts, volcano eruptions and glacial movement.
Today, the extraordinary blue water of Lake Tahoe is cupped between the peaks of the Sierra Nevada and the summits of the Carson Range – sharing its home between the states of California and Nevada.
The earliest inhabitants of the Tahoe Basin were the Washoe Indians, who believed the lake to be spiritually significant. During the Gold Rush, historical sites such as Comstock Lode, emerged as the richest deposit of silver in the United States. However, the mining stripped the basin of almost all its trees – an effect that is ever present.
Activities for guests abound in the area. Explore the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, situtated right on the shores of Lake Tahoe. Guests can take in the beautiful views of the Sierra Nevada mountains while eating at popular Lone Eagle Grill, place bets at the Resort's casino or relax at the spa. Grab your skis for a day on the slopes with ex-Olympians and relax on an apres-ski boat cruise back to the hotel.

Go to an off-site dinner on a big paddle boat, hang out on the beautiful North Shore beaches or climb aboard a charter boat set for fishing excursions. Play at one of the casinos or on the greens of a world-class golf course. Or explore the masterpiece of nature that is Lake Tahoe on one of many mountain and lake activities.
Whether you choose to surround yourself with fast-pace action, indulge in creature comforts, or do it all, Lake Tahoe is a destination that will leave a lasting impression.
A perfect year-round destination, Lake Tahoe is just 30-minutes from Reno Airport. With an altitude of 6200 feet, 300 days of sunshine and 396 inches of annual snowfall, why wait any longer? A pure Tahoe experience is only an adventure away. |
