4 Romantic Ideas For a Fall Lake Tahoe Getaway
By: Alex Silgalis
Ah… the smell of autumn. The crispness in the morning. Calmness on the lake. The summer visitors are hibernating, and the bears are in the process of doing so too, with one last buffet of salmon near the Taylor Creek Visitor Center. Fall is also a great time to plan a romantic getaway to Lake Tahoe. Here are four ideas to make your fall romantic escape the best ever.
Explore Emerald Bay State Park
During spring and summer, it can get a bit busy in and around Emerald Bay State Park. It makes sense since it’s by far the most popular attraction in Lake Tahoe. With the kids back in school and the powder hounds still sitting at home, fall is THE time to explore the forested hillsides of the glacier-carved granite mountains along with the tiny island at its center.
Enjoy A Romantic Dinner With A View
When it comes to a dining experience offering up commanding scenery alongside great food, Lake Tahoe has that in spades. Due to our location on the southeastern shore, the sun sets to the west over the lake and the Sierra Nevada crest. From Friday’s Station Steak & Seafood Grill, located on the top floor of Harrah’s, to the Chart House halfway up Kingsbury Grade, there’s a plethora of high-end options that give you a world-class view with your meal. In fact, Lake Tahoe is home to one of the “100 Most Scenic Restaurants in America,” as voted by Open Table diners—the Edgewood Restaurant.
Take A Dip In The Hot Springs
Slipping into the healing waters of a hot springs pool, your mind will unwind, and a smile will appear on your face. Like a heavy coat being lifted from your shoulders, the stresses of daily life will be pulled out of you as you take in one of the many rejuvenating waters near Lake Tahoe. You can indulge in a couple’s hot bath and massage or many other spa services at the Steamboat Hot Springs, or check out one of the many pools Mark Twain enjoyed at David Walley’s Resort.
Take A Stroll Through The Aspen at Lam Watah
Lam Watah Trail is a gentle and beautiful walk to the lake shore’s that winds through beautiful stands of aspen and pine trees.
