When you land
Things to do in Truckee
Truckee began as a railroad and logging town on the Central Pacific line over Donner Pass, and its historic downtown still lines the tracks with brick and timber storefronts. Today it is the hub of North Lake Tahoe’s ski and mountain life, close to Palisades Tahoe, site of the 1960 Winter Olympics, as well as Northstar and Sugar Bowl. Private communities such as Martis Camp and Lahontan have made the area a major second-home market, and a growing number of residents now live and work here full time.
