How is Tahoe hiking in early June? Are a lot of the trails still snow covered? Or does it just depend on the year?

depends on the year... they've got a CRAZY snow pack right now.

That area of the Sierra Nevadas gets some of the highest annual snowfall totals in the CONUS. A good year in Colorado is 300" or so... they regularly get 500+" around there.

That being said... it really depends on the next 2 months and how much they continue to get and how warm it gets in April/May.

It can get pretty slushy there in the Spring time since it's lower altitude than the rockies.

Heavenly has already had 330" this year...

Rafting is now on agenda.

White water?

We did the middle fork of the American. Pretty awesome and had some class 4's. Had to drive to Auburn and it was a long day… like 6am to 730pm door to door from south lake but awesome times!

Still my opinion that the Sierras have the best powder in north america. Park City a close second.

Bump bc we are considering making the trip. For those that have been with young kids in the summer, how many nights do you usually spend there? Cabin or resort condo?

Been a while, but stayed at the Hyatt in Incline Village. Wasn't as busy as south lake but was easy for day trips. And a must….Virginia City and the bucket of blood saloon!

And, minor detail…..casino in the hotel.

We leave tomorrow. I have most of it planned out but would love a casual spot for lunch with 8 and 11 yo boys for lunch in Truckee before rafting. Will update with more info when we get back. This will be my 3rd time and my husband and kids first time. Can't wait, and I've never been to Truckee

Legit AMAZING

Old Town Tap is great for pizza

Donner Lake Kitchen

Was in Truckee on Monday. Didn't get to hit any restaurants but the downtown strip had several options that looked legit.
