Eating Locally is GREAT!

• Fresh Ketch: great place; life music most weekends; take a short walk from there to Tahoe Keys beach.
• Meyers Downtown Cafe: casual, family run, open for breakfast and lunch.
• Bob Dog Pizza: great pizza and beer on tap.
• Divided Sky: a great neighborhood bar with excellent beer, nice food, and live music.
• Edgewood: is a bit futher north but is worth the drive (reservations are a good idea).
• The Getaway Cafe: good selection of wines, food is also pretty good, and Eric, your waiter and the owner, is a great guy!
• Lira's Supermarket: is very good and just 4 miles away. While there, pick up the local almanac printed weekly for information of what’s going on in town.

Local Flora

We love hiking local trails. And they are the best around here. The first thing that grabs your attention is the beauty of the flora. The colors are always vibrant and the shapes are mysterious. We usually carry a camera with us. The pictures you can see by clicking on the plant image above were taken on local hikes at Hawley Grade, Big Meadow, Echo Lake, and Carson Pass.
