Fall Fun In Northern California

Northern California has a slew of attractions between Lake Tahoe, San Francisco and the region known as Wine Country. There’s many outdoorsy type vacation spots within an easy drive from the Sacramento airport. The fall months bring not only beautiful foliage to the area but some valuable vacation deals as well.

A little hidden gem in the Eastern Sierra is Mono County. For the fall season, The Meadowcliff Lodge and RV Resort is offering a “See It All” fall vacation giveaway. Visit the Mono County website and enter for a chance to win one of seven vacations. Not interested in those odds? The Lodge is offering a third night for free from now until October 31.

Nearby, the Lake Front Cabins are a kid-friendly location for campfires, large grassy picnic areas, activities for children as well as plenty of opportunities to feed the ducks and watch Bald Eagles soar overhead. The new Kids Pond at the Conway Ranch Hatchery is located close to the campgrounds. There are also short hiking trails that will help the kiddos expend some of their pent-up energy. From now until the end of October, buy three nights and get the fourth for free. In November, all cabins are half price with a three night minimum.

If you’re interested in making a full-on vacation out of your trip, spend a few days in Lake Tahoe, the Granlibakken Resort is offering specials for Thanksgiving. If you go with three friends, rates start at only $95 a person per day. This includes lodging, daily hot breakfasts to fuel you up for an adventurous afternoon as well as a Thanksgiving Dinner. After filling up on traditional stuffing, mashed potatoes, yams, cranberries and table side carved turkey you can head out and catch some fresh powder on the slopes or enjoy some quiet reading by the fire. Of course, since the feast is served family-style, there will be some tasty leftovers for sandwiches the next day.

Yosemite National Park is also offering Thanksgiving deals for nature lovers. For under $500, two people can get a 3-night package at Yosemite Sierra View Bed and Breakfast including a full country breakfast each morning as well as afternoon tea or wine and cheese. If you’re traveling with the whole family, the Bed and Breakfast is offering a special rate when you book their entire 8 person floor comprised of 3 suites for only $1,400. The best part of this deal is the complimentary Thanksgiving dinner they offer. Imagine, being able to watch football with the family without being worried about burning the turkey!

Free Things to Do in Lake Tahoe

The Lake Tahoe region is home to beaches, hiking trails, spectacular views, and other attractions which can be enjoyed free of charge! If you’re looking to save money on your next vacation, there are many great Lake Tahoe hotel deals to be had!

1. Tahoe Rim Trail

If you came to Lake Tahoe to get some exercise and explore the surroundings, the Tahoe Rim Trail is a must! The trail is over 165 miles, winding through six counties in both California and Nevada. The trail offers spectacular views for hikers, bikers, and equestrians alike. There are many trailheads to start from around the Tahoe-region.

2. D.L. Bliss State Park

The California side of the lake is home to this beautiful and historic state park. With over 1,800 acres of natural beauty, D.L. Bliss contains a wide array of trees and wildlife. It is also home to Rubicon Point Light – the highest-elevation lighthouse in the US. Spend the day hiking and appreciating this great park!

3. Stream Profile Chamber

One of the most beautiful and unique nature walks Lake Tahoe has to offer is the Stream Profile Chamber. Start at Taylor Creek Visitor’s Center and walk into a profile chamber. The chamber contains a huge window through which marine life can be viewed in their natural habitat. The fish differ throughout the year but are always a sight to behold.

4. Tallac Historic Site

This site, which used to be a three-estate retreat for the wealthy, is now a publicly maintained, free museum. Explore the lavish buildings and then take a dip in the lake.

5. Eagle Falls Hike

This quarter mile hike brings travelers through the Sierra Nevadas to a beautiful view of Lake Tahoe. If you’re feeling up to it, the trail continues all the way to Eagle Lake.

6. Stateline Fire Lookout

A short climb up to this site will reward visitors with one of the most beautiful views Lake Tahoe has to offer. The area is relatively natural, with minimal signs of human development. This adds to the beauty of the spot but be sure to ask a tourist guide for directions, as it can be hard to find.

7. Eagle Lake

Just west of Lake Tahoe is Eagle Lake – a smaller, less developed but very beautiful site. A mile-long hike which starts near Emerald Bay takes visitors through beautiful wilderness before they arrive at this destination. Great place to swim, picnic, explore, or just relax.

Zephyr Cove Resort offers a different take on the Lake Tahoe experience.  While most visitors cruise down the slopes of popular ski resorts, Zephyr guests will be treated to a winter mountain getaway with boat rides on the area’s namesake lake and snowmobile tours of the scenic back country of the Sierra Nevadas.

This winter, Zephyr Cove is offering a package priced 22% below regular rates.  The “ride, stay and cruise” package includes two nights in one of the resort’s studios, bungalows or one-bedroom cabins and sightseeing excursions on the lake and in the woods.  The reduced price is $200 per person.

With each room booking, guests receive two passes to cruise Lake Tahoe on the M.S. Dixie II.  This boat holds over 500 passengers, making it the largest vessel on the lake.  The cruise offers stunning views of the water and the Sierra Nevada range.

Guests also receive two passes to take part in a guided snowmobile tour of the Sierra Nevada’s back country.  The resort runs tours that are suitable for people of all skill levels.

Of course, most visitors come to Tahoe for excitement.  The Zephyr is located only one hour from Reno and is within a short drive of the nightlife, restaurants and casinos of Lake Tahoe.  So the excitement is accessible, but  just far enough away that Zephyr Cove  feels like a true mountain getaway.

Booking for this 22%-off deal runs until March 30th, 2010.  Travel dates run through the end of April.  To book now, visit the Zehpyr Cove web site or call 866-761-6240.  In order to obtain the discounted rates, you will have to use the promotional code RSC200PP.

Check out Lake Tahoe’s land accommodations as well. There’s plenty of Lake Tahoe hotel deals for your perfect fall or winter getaway.
