Mindful Travel. Activities. Guides. Backcountry Safety. IN THIS NEW LANDSCAPE OF LIFE... Embracing the mindset of a responsible traveler is more important than ever. For detailed information about travel and activities in North Lake Tahoe, please check out our Know Before Your Go Informational Guides on GoTahoeNorth.com. They provide the necessary tools to fully prepare for your time in North Lake Tahoe. From tips on how to demonstrate mindful travel to helpful hints for planning your trip, the Know Before You Go Guide is the perfect resource for a successful getaway.

BACKCOUNTRY SAFETY Know Before You Go is also a term used to stress the importance of Backcountry Safety. Skiing or riding in the backcountry is an amazing way to experience nature however because terrain access is beyond the boundaries of a ski resort, there is no avalanche control work or ski patrol. Before heading out into the backcountry, make sure to take an avalanche safety course, check weather conditions and fully assess the risk. There is specific gear you will need to stay safe (a beacon, probe and shovel to name a few), along with knowledge of reading snowpack and identifying safe routes to hike and lines to ride.

traveler responsibility PLEDGE

Photo: Fallon Multimedia

HOW TO BECOME A STEWARD OF LAKE TAHOE Welcome to Lake Tahoe. Some of us live here and some of us are just visiting, but we all need to take care while we enjoy this special place. Help protect Lake Tahoe, surrounding communities, wildlife and the environment by pledging to travel responsibly through the Sierra region. The Traveler Responsibility Pledge is composed of six tenets that align with primary stewardship initiatives of the region and by visiting the Blog on GoTahoeNorth.com, you can find specific actions that immediately reduce travel related impacts.

LOCAL LUMINARY Sherry McConkey Over a decade ago, ski legend Shane McConkey acknowledged the troubling future of our planet. “We have a lot of environmental issues to conquer,” he stated. “Time is of the essence.” Of his many legacies, Shane’s passion for the environment is evident through work of the Shane McConkey Foundation, a local organization dedicated to making a positive difference. Running point on everything from the Pain McSchlonkey Classic to a national EcoChallenge for students is Sherry McConkey whose commitment to protecting our planet is connected to community, her daughter’s future and perhaps in part, another way to honor her beloved.

Take the Traveler Responsibility Pledge: Please join us as we pledge to be mindful of our impact and respectful of this magnificent environment. The Traveler Responsibility Pledge is simple but the results powerful in ways that preserve and protect. What better way to experience Lake Tahoe than to leave it better than you found it? Take the Pledge and learn more about what to expect and how to travel and recreate responsibly in Lake Tahoe at GoTahoeNorth.com. “The Traveler Responsibility Pledge was developed so visitors can enjoy the unique culture and natural beauty of the Lake Tahoe region responsibly. The six elements of the pledge help guests recognize what personal responsibility looks like and the importance of making a positive impact on the mountain communities they visit. This effort to shift behavior is paramount and will require ongoing collaboration between visitors and residents.” — Andy Chapman, President & CEO of the Incline Village Crystal Bay Visitors Bureau

THE SHANE MCCONKEY FOUNDATION The Shane McConkey Foundation was established in 2012 and four years later the EcoChallenge was created, empowering students from across the globe to have a voice in protecting the planet they’re going to inherit. To date, the Shane McConkey Foundation and its sponsors, supporters and donors have raised over $550,000 for charitable causes and organizations, and over 1,300 students have participated in the EcoChallenge.

What is the power of philanthropy? It’s the best kind of crowdsourcing. As a nonprofit, we provide critical funding to increase the pace and scale of forest restoration, improve the lake’s water quality and clarity, make recreation more sustainable, improve transportation and inspire people to take care of Tahoe. Since 2010, we have helped complete more than 50 environmental improvement projects and secured more than $50M in public funding to improve the Lake Tahoe environment. Now that’s the power of philanthropy.

Lake Tahoe

The People From Here

Dat So La Lee with her baskets—Nevada Historical Society

THE WASHOE PEOPLE The Washoe people (Wašiw) were the first inhabitants of Lake Tahoe, coming to the Lake during spring and summer to hunt and fish. The center of the Wašiw world is Da.aw (Lake Tahoe) both geographically and spiritually. Like most native peoples, lifestyles revolved around the environment; the people were part of the environment, and everything was provided by the environment. The Washoe people collected roots, seeds, and berries for food and medicine and willow for baskets – methods they still use today. The Washoe people are deeply knowledgeable about the land and where resources are plentiful. This includes an understanding of the seasonal cycles of both plants and animals. Washoe culture is based mostly on legends that carried the explanation of different areas of life. The legends are handed over from one generation to the next by storytelling and are told to younger generations to teach them basic things about the Washoe’s way of living. Children learn about gathering techniques, medicine preparation, and the legends are meant to teach them how to appreciate the land and give them a better understanding of Washoe’s lifestyle. Children are raised in an environment which recognizes family as the most valued thing. The whole way of Washoe life concentrates on cooperation and unity, and older tribe members convey their knowledge to the younger so the tribe culture will survive.

GATEKEEPER’S MUSEUM Discover a piece of Washoe Tribe history at the Gatekeepers Museum in Tahoe City. The Indian basket collection of the North Lake Tahoe Historical Society consists of more than 700 baskets from the native peoples of western North America. The collection includes utilitarian baskets made for fishing and hunting, food gathering and preparation, storage and other purposes, as well as many fine baskets made for ceremonies, gifts, and for sale to collectors. Gatekeepers Museum, 130 West Lake Blvd., Tahoe City, CA 89511.

Today, the Washoe Tribe is a major player in efforts to conserve the natural habitat of Lake Tahoe and the surrounding region. Learn more at: washoetribe.us.

LOCAL LUMINARY Heather Segale For over 15 years, Heather Segale has fostered stewardship programs at UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center. Her work inspires interest in environmental science, and she continues to establish a culture of taking care, while also creating a mindset of personal responsibility. There are two science centers in North Lake Tahoe (Incline Village and Tahoe City) where interactive exhibits provide engaging information about Lake Tahoe, the latest findings from world-class research, and how we can all work together to protect this precious resource. Learn more at tahoe.ucdavis.edu/tahoesciencecenter.

PLAN A DUAL DAY Tahoe’s spring season offers combined winter and summer activities, with many local resorts extending closure dates through late-April and beyond. Lakeside activities begin to take shape as inviting afternoon temperatures usher in warmer summer-like conditions. Plan a dual day by starting on the mountain (skiing, riding, snowshoeing) and end on the water (kayaking, paddle boarding, lounging). Guided kayaking and paddle board tours, private stargazing and adventure courses that include ziplines, ropes and high-altitude cable routes embody some of the outdoor opportunities the destination offers. From hiking and biking to birding and golf, there is truly something for everyone to enjoy.

VISIT THE TAHOE SCIENCE CENTER “Kids programs are designed to stimulate curiosity and motivate environmental awareness early on. Our Tahoe Science Center in Incline Village explores everything from water quality and lake health to monitoring climate change. We raise awareness about microplastics and ways to reduce plastic usage in every household. Our monthly lecture series covers a broad range of topics, and we recently updated our Citizen Science Tahoe App, which encourages individuals to share observations – identifying litter hot spots, water quality issues, algae growth, and more to help researchers with their work. We talk with people about the basics: the importance of picking up trash (the beach is not an ashtray!), disposing of dog waste (there is no poop fairy!), lake-friendly gardening, and engage regularly about solutions.” —Heather Segale, Education & Outreach Director, UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center

LOCAL LUMINARY Jenni Charles Jenni grew up as a key fixture in the local music scene, playing at north shore venues alongside her parents and brother. Immersed in a family life that fostered musical creativity, she consumed a wide variety of sounds that continue to influence her soulful mountain string vibe today. In the summer of 2009, Jenni met Jesse Dunn, a guitarist and vocalist, at a northern California music festival. Three weeks later they found themselves in Tahoe City for a joint gig at Commons Beach. In spring of 2010, Dead Winter Carpenters was born and the pair has been making sweet melodies together ever since. Dead Winter Carpenters continue to headline shows at local music venues. Visit GoTahoeNorth.com for events and to learn more about Jenni’s perspective on what it means to be a touring musician and Mom. Photo: Clare Foster

TAHOE’S OFFICIAL PLAYGROUND Most of us can’t wait until summer to get away. It’s that stirring deep inside each of us that longs to escape: School’s out. The sun’s out. And our desire to get out and enjoy is human nature. North Lake Tahoe is the perfect mix of lakeside adventure and on-mountain activities; it’s the ideal place to escape everyday life – with a thriving summer scene loaded with experiences meant to refresh, recharge and reinvigorate our souls. There is no shortage of activities to check off everyone’s list – from a scenic paddle to a picturesque hike, to lounging on the beach or hitting up the gaming, entertainment and dining scene – there’s so much to do in Summer’s Official Playground. Visit our business listings section starting on page 36, or GoTahoeNorth.com to learn more about activity providers like Tahoe Via Ferrata, Tahoe Treetop Adventure Parks, guided experiences with Tahoe Adventure Company, and the region’s only lift-serviced mountain bike park at Northstar California.

FINDING YOUR MOUNTAIN PLAYGROUND The scenic and impressive North Lake Tahoe mountainside makes the perfect backdrop for your summer adventures. From hikes that are beyond Instagramable to catching the sunrise on an early morning mountain bike ride, there’s no shortage of fun to be had. Tips for enjoying outdoor recreation: 1. Bring a trash bag. Become part of the solution by packing out your garbage. 2. Park only in designated areas. 3. Play during off-peak hours and visit during the middle of the week. 4. Pack patience and kindness, and treat locals and other visitors with respect. 5. Ride public transportation! Visit tahoetruckeetransit.com for many options.

MOUNTAIN THERAPY: DISCONNECT IN NORTH LAKE TAHOE There has never been a more important time to prioritize self-care rituals and establish new routines that maximize wellbeing. The North Lake Tahoe region offers boundless opportunities to reconnect with your inner self and even redefine what that connection looks like. Recharge your spirit in the outdoors with a guided full moon snowshoe tour, take your dog cross country skiing, or try something new like mountain biking. Tap into the knowledge from North Tahoe’s plethora of wellness experts and book one-on-one sessions with energy healers, yoga and meditation gurus, or learn the science behind Ayurvedic medicine to discover new ways of mindfulness and healing. Spas are open in accordance with state guidance and safety precautions are implemented across all industry sectors.

WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR VISIT! As a visitor to the Tahoe area, it can be overwhelming to choose from all of the outdoor recreation options. You can hike a trail to a waterfall, mountain bike to a towering peak, or stroll on a path by the lake. There is no shortage of ways to take in the majesty of Tahoe. You may wonder while you are out exploring, who built these trails? Who takes care of the forest? How does the Lake maintain its amazing clarity? More than 50 partners work together to help take care of Tahoe. From projects to prevent wildfire, to removal of aquatic invasive species, to construction of new trails. This massive collaboration of partners works to ensure there is a balance between the human and natural environments so that Tahoe can be enjoyed for future generations. One of these partners is the Tahoe Fund. The mission of the nonprofit is to use the power of philanthropy to improve the Lake Tahoe environment for all to enjoy. Since 2010, the Tahoe Fund has helped to secure more than $50 million in public funding to support more than 50 projects. Some of these projects include the spectacular East Shore Trail, the Homewood Bike Path, removal of aquatic invasive weeds from the Tahoe City Dam, and the Dollar Creek Shared Use Path. All of this was made possible by generous donations from people just like you. To learn more about the Tahoe Fund’s current projects and how you can give back please visit tahoefund.org.
