![]() ![]() We had so much fun eating our way through the night here! We found everything from BBQ Ribs and chocolate covered fruits to giant poke bowls (pictured here) and cold pess juices. When I was living in NYC, we would spend every Saturday morning checking out the food stands at Smorgusburg, so I thought I knew food trucks, but this event is MASSIVE - and stretches through the park seemingly endlessly. See the exact location here.Įvery Friday night from May through September, Food Truck Friday takes over Idlewild Park from 4:00 to 9:00PM. This heart sculpture was our favorite to play on, but the giant kissing mural directly behind us was absolutely stunning. Playa Art Park has a collection of sculptures from past years' festivals that you can run through, climb on, and discover - with the right angle, it's almost like being at Burning Man itself. Reno is the closest city to Burning Man, and as the festival grows, has become somewhat of a hub for the art and production it takes to put it all together. If you're into to history, like me, read more about the town here. And this one is easy! Every corner here is a photo opp. This has a totally different vibe than the city of Reno, and the nature of Tahoe, and was one of my favorite places in the area. The main stretch of the town is full of Victorian buildings, historical sites and museums, and a tour train, a Wild West theater shows, vintage shops, and gigantic candy stores. ![]() This city is just a 35 minute drive from Reno, and feels like a whole other world. Virginia City is an old Mining Town, that sprang up with the discovery of silver in the 1860's, and is a true slice of the wild west. You can also rent kayaks, boats, and paddle boards from the main beach here! The wooden walkway here wraps around from Cove to Cove creating a lot of nooks to hike down to and make it look like you're all alone with. This is a national park, and has a $12 entrance fee, but our local friend was very right when she told us that "it is a national park for a reason." The way the cove wraps around here has great vantage points to show the mix of bright blue water, mountains, and pine trees. On calm days, you can see right through to the sandy bottom and the wide, white rocks underneath and Sand Harbor is one of the best places to see it all. The waters of Lake Tahoe are unlike almost any other lake in the world - vibrant, blue, and crystal clear. ![]() ![]() But after a few days - I think the summer here is even more fun and with so much more to see and shoot! Our Instagram guide will keep you busy with beaches, adventures, local favorites, and a few hidden gems! I had known Lake Tahoe for skiing, and had been here a few times before in the winter - knowing the place only as covered in a layer of snow, below freezing temperatures, and an ice-covered lake - and I had no idea what to expect of Reno and Tahoe in the summer when we visited the area with Visit Reno Tahoe in June. ![]()
