Truckee

Travel Guide
Truckee which includes snow and signage
Emigrants passed here on their way to California. Visit today and you’ll still find that intrepid spirit — for fun and adventure.

Truckee prides itself on a love of the outdoors. This appreciation might go back to when brave wagoners made a road through here in the mid-1800s. Learn about their trail-blazing at the visitor centre of the Donner Memorial State Park, which is a good place to find locals doing what they do best — loving the outdoors. Truckee folk also take pride in their culinary scene, so while you explore the historic downtown area, make sure you stop for the good food, wine and beer.

"Really nice rooms at an affordable price. Breakfast was free and had a lot of options. My main problem was that there was no way of turning the fan in the bathroom off and it was on 24/7 and loud. I also didn't realize there would be a $10/day parking fee. No Hulu on the TV as an fyi if that's a ..."
