Santa Cruz, CA just a 6 hr drive west from Reno
Reno has so much to offer when it comes to the outdoors. Where do I even begin?
How about my backyard, actually more like my front yard. Just north of our house is a really great regional park. There is the best dog park in town with acres of off leash running for the doggers.

There is the arboretum for the tree lovers, the adventure park and playground for the kiddos, the duck pond where you can supposedly fish and the walking path that loops the whole shebang.
In my Mother's Day post you saw all the hub-ub around the Truckee River. Another fantastic natural resource that is in the heart of the city. A little bit further from home we the world famous Lake Tahoe.
One of the prettiest places I know.
"Chimney Beach" Lake Tahoe
There is skiing (downhill or Nordic) or snowboarding at any one of the resorts near Tahoe.
Snowshoeing near Markleeville, CA.
As well as camping, hiking, rock climbing, and biking to boot.

We are really blessed to be in a hub of sorts here in Reno- 40 minutes will get you to the snow, the lake, the desert, the middle of nowhere.

Very very cool pictures. My parents just got back from Tahoe, and couldn't stop raving about how beautiful it was. Now I want to go.
ReplyDeleteOh and that image of that dog is my absolute favorite. How is it that dogs actually look like they're smiling at times?! I love it.
I am impressed with the list and photos. Being a native of the area, you summed it up nicely. I hope more people will look at your post and want to visit. I love this place too!

Amazing! You have so much variety! I really really love the photo of the waves crashing around - it looks like a painting. Also - the dogger running in pure joy!
