The amazing colors that cover nature during the fall are something to take your breath away. The weather is not yet chilly enough to discourage you from visiting the outdoors. The leaves take on different shades of red, brown, green, and yellow. The ground under the trees turns into an astounding mosaic. This is the time of year to the many things to do in Lake Tahoe in October, such as enjoying a hike, mountain biking, rock climbing, and all the other adventures that bring you close to nature because this beauty is fleeting. It won’t be long before it gets freezing cold and white snow blankets the whole landscape.
Backpacking is One the Best Things to Do In Lake Tahoe in October
When you have alpine lakes, an extensive network of trails all over the Sierra Nevada mountain range, and amazing views to enjoy, backpacking is not an option, but a necessity. If you love nature and relish its untouched beauty any chance you get, then you’ll be delighted to take an excursion through this landscape. You can go for as little as two days or as long as eight fun-filled days on these excursions. Along the way, you learn some necessary skills about surviving in the wilderness and you get to appreciate the untamed beauty of the wild.
