A getaway in Lake Tahoe means fresh cool mountain air, great views and a selection of hotels that range from luxury to inexpensive. Head to the Taylor Creek Visitor Center on the south shore of Lake Tahoe for a map of the most scenic trails in the area. The Stream Profile Chamber, just a quarter mile down the Rainbow Trail, gives you a 180 degree view of life above and below the water through a curved diorama.

If you are vacationing with kids, book a room at the Basecamp Hotel which has playful, affordable rooms. Both the Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe and Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe offer outdoor firepits for s'mores. Everline Resort & Spa offers stunning mountain views from its restaurant. Gravity Haus Truckee-Tahoe is another affordable option in Lake Tahoe.
