Tahoe and the Carson Valley

Lake Tahoe

We were sad to leave the tiny town of Dyer, but with our food supplies running low, we realized we needed to move on to a bigger town where we could resupply without taxing the small market at the RV Park. We originally had reservations on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe, but those were canceled/refunded when the park decided to delay opening until the middle of May. Thankfully, some friends we met, camping in Dyer, told us they were from Minden (in the Carson Valley outside Lake Tahoe) and recommended a local park where we could camp. We love Minden and its sister city Gardnerville, not to mention the quaint town of Genoa; Nevadas very first settlement in 1851.

Lake Tahoe is just 20 miles away and on our first trip there, we were pleased to discover the 165 miles that make up the Tahoe Rim Trail (a long distance hiking trail that forms a loop around Lake Tahoe) weren’t closed and allow hiking and biking. What a breathtakingly, beautiful place! We also discovered an awesome disc golf course outside Carson City so we will have plenty of outdoor fun to keep us busy the week we are here!
