NOW TRENDING Find a different you this fall with these new Reno/Tahoe opportunities. By Meghan Burk
THE CREATIVE YOU Out with the paint and in with the plants. Let your imagination take root at Succulents & Wine, the newest DIY attraction in Reno! Create a trendy cacti or whimsical succulent while sipping your favorite rose. These hot houseplants are perfect for those without a green thumb (like me). This is a great mid-week attraction for a relaxed evening out. Friends and I went for a great happy hour, scheduled Wednesday – Friday from 4 to 7 p.m., with wine specials and discounted plants! It’s as easy as picking your container, plant, pebbles and fairy garden flare … then let your creativity grow. succulentsandwine.com THE ADVENTURER YOU Be one of the first to experience Tahoe suspended from above atop the newest climbing route in Squaw Valley called The Tahoe Via Feratta by Alpenglow Expeditions. Opening this fall, these style of routes are popular in Europe and Canada, as they bring an exciting taste of rock-climbing and mountaineering, without needing any prior experience. Imagine an installed cable wrapped around the mountainside, allowing you to safely scale the exposed rock and enjoy the thrilling views. Choose a half- or full-day guided adventure. tahoevia.com

THE FOODIE YOU Try Holey Schmidt! These donuts are good. Even better than the play on words, these fried rounds of goodness can be found inside The Terry Lee Wells Discovery Museum in downtown Reno. You’ll have a hard time choosing between the delectable 50 – 75 unique flavors baked daily, so go for at least two donuts with a cup of locally roasted Old World Coffee to dip in. My favorites are the oreo cheesecake, overfilled Nutella, and the traditional old fashioned with cinnamon and sugar. @holeyschmidtdonuts
