A Rich History
Tahoe’s been a summer mecca since the 1800’s
PHOTO COURTESY OF THE JIM BELL COLLECTION
by Chaco Mohler
The earliest inhabitants of the Tahoe Basin were the nomadic predecessors to the Washoe, Maidu and Paiute Indian Tribes. These peoples existed during the Middle Archaic Period and appear to have returned to the area seasonally to collect medicinal plants, hunt, fish and create stone tools. In time, three bands of the peaceful Washoe Indians became regular occupants of the Tahoe shoreline during the summers. They found spiritual significance in the beauty of the lake and surrounding mountains and waters teeming with fish. Early European-descended explorers and settlers of the area found them a peaceful nation, with extraordinary basket-weavers, creating works impressive both technically and aesthetically. Some outstanding examples can be found at the Marion Steinbach Indian Basket Museum, next to the Gatekeeper’s Museum in Tahoe City. The name “Tahoe” is a mispronunciation of the Washoe Native American name for Lake Tahoe, “Da ow a ga,” which means “edge of the lake.”
For decades, white and native races lived more or less harmoniously during Tahoe summers, the Washoe spending summers as they had for millennia along sections of the West Shore and packing up in fall to head to lower elevation winter camps in present-day Northern Nevada. The Tahoe Region transformed dramatically with the discovery of Comstock Lode silver in Virginia City. Opulent resorts were built in Tahoe City—Tahoe Tavern Hotel & Casino—and Brockway Springs Resort in Kings Beach. A narrow-gauge railway connected Tahoe Tavern to the Intercontinental railway in Truckee, the tracks extending down the hotel’s pier to meet steamers and launches that plied Tahoe’s waters to an increasing number of popular resorts and vacation cabins. While the growth did bring an end to the Washoe presence at the lake—the tribe was granted reservation land near their wintering grounds in Carson Valley—Tahoe’s oldest inhabitants have

recently made a partial return. Washoe Tribe members manage Meeks Bay Resort and have access to their traditional medicine gardens and ceremonial grounds nearby, as well as 25 acres near Skunk Harbor on the Nevada East Shore. Between the world wars, Tahoe’s fame as a world-class resort continued to grow. CalNeva Resort Casino opened at Crystal Bay in 1926 and became famous soon after for attracting Hollywood celebrities like Clara Bow. Purchased in 1960 by Frank Sinatra, the property was frequented by his fellow Rat Pack, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr. among them, as well as Bobby Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe. A series of underground tunnels connected certain guest cottages to the casino so that celebrities and gangsters alike could move unseen between them. Eventually, it was proven that Chicago mobster, Sam Giancana, was a guest of the CalNeva and Sinatra lost his gaming license. Nearby, Crystal Bay Club Hotel & Casino opened in 1938 and Tahoe Biltmore Lodge & Casino in 1946. Crystal Bay Club remains a popular destination for gaming, entertaining and dining. Tahoe Biltmore is scheduled to be replaced with a new resort development, Boulder Bay, over the next few years. CalNeva has been closed for renovations but was recently purchased by software

billionaire, Larry Ellison, who has not yet disclosed his plans for the property. While North Tahoe remained largely a summer resort for most of this period, skiing was launched at Granlibakken Resort near Tahoe City in 1922. Sugar Bowl Ski Resort opened in 1939 on Donner Summit with the first gondola lift on the West Coast. The transformation of this area into a world class winter destination started in earnest with the 1960 Winter Olympic Games at Squaw Valley. The games were the first to be televised live and helped spark the growth of skiing throughout the country. You can still revisit those exciting days, even in summer, with a ride up the Squaw Valley aerial tramway to High Camp’s Olympic Museum. Other popular historic spots worth a visit include the Tahoe Maritime Center and the Watson Cabin Museum, both in Tahoe City, the Hellman-Ehrman Mansion at Sugar Pine Point State Park and Vikingsholm Mansion at Emerald Bay State Park. Walk through the historic Transcontinental Railroad tunnels and along China Wall off California Highway 40 on Donner Summit, then stop by the recently renovated Emigrant Trail Museum at Donner Memorial State Park. With North Tahoe’s rich history of showing summer guests a famously good time, you’re sure to enjoy every minute.

101 Years of Memorable Golf by Chaco Mohler
North Tahoe has an ideal “climate” for golf: sunny warm days, beautiful scenery and highelevations where the ball just seems to travel forever. It’s also fun experiencing holes which both golf and Hollywood elite have played. Tahoe City Golf Course opened in 1918, designed by May “Queenie” Dunn, America’s first female golf instructor and, with the construction of the Tahoe City links, its first female golf architect. In the 1950s, the 9-hole course became a favorite of comedian Bob Hope and the multi-talented Sammy Davis Jr. Scenic and affordable, the course appeals to both beginners and seasoned golfers.

A favorite round of the “Rat Pack,” including Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, it also hosted the first Bing Crosby Annual, now the ATT National Pro Am Championships in Pebble Beach, and hosted President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Fast-forward to 2019 and many excellent circuits dot the region, including the Links at Squaw Creek and Northstar Golf Course. Incline Village has two 18-hole layouts, a par-58 Mountain Course and the 72-par Championship Course designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. Over a half dozen golf courses surround Truckee, including Tahoe Donner Golf Course and Coyote Moon.
Familyfriendly to world-class, there’s plenty to stir a golfer’s heart.

Shirley Creek creates a magical landscape of falling, tumbling water as it travels down its steep canyon from the Sierra Crest. People and dogs maneuver a sometimes narrow trail that climbs precipitously up and over boulders. You’ll want to stop to catch your breath at many of the lovely waterfalls, which cascade into deep, cold granite pools (where the brave or the furry can cool off). Young or elderly hikers might need a hand at a few points on the climb, but the path is well-worn and largely friendly to all generations. Make it all the way up to Squaw Valley Ski Resort’s High Camp

The Tahoe Rim Trail is rated one of the best walks in the country by outdoor and travel media every year. There are a number of spots where day-hikers can conveniently access the ridge-top route, but one of the easiest is in Tahoe Meadows off Nevada State Route 431. Departing from this northern point, the Rim Trail heads south to some of Tahoe’s most spectacular views. There are a number of spots with views of scenic ridges that can serve as impromptu destinations for out-and-back hikes. Or head one-way all the way to Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park and descend a sandy road to Incline Village. Mountain bikers are only allowed along this entire route on evennumbered calendar days.

One of the most accessible sections of the famous Pacific Crest Trail is south of Donner Summit near Truckee. Head south from one of many parking spots and you’ll soon be climbing up a wooded ridge toward Mount Judah, then to Mount Lincoln or beyond to peaks stretching toward Tahoe. Take a comfortable out-and-back hike or go “peak bagging” all day to Squaw Valley. Near the hike’s start are the first Intercontinental Railroad tunnels, chiseled through solid granite by Chinese laborers in the 1860s, now abandoned and ripe for exploration (take a flashlight and a friend).

Incline Village/Crystal Bay At one time, Incline Village stood at the site of the Comstock era’s Great Incline Railway. Today, the town boasts shopping, restaurants and spectacular estates along Lakeshore Boulevard. Stores, boutiques and dining options are found in various locations around the community, including the large Raley’s Shopping Center and nearby Christmas Tree Village, both located along Highway 28. There is easy access to high-mountain hiking trails off of Mt. Rose Highway 431 with a spectacular viewpoint a few miles above Incline. Just out of town to the east, the Flume Trail offers mountain bikers a thrill ride on single-track far above the lake. Spend a perfect Tahoe day at Sand Harbor’s fabulous beaches and catch a Shakespeare play there at night on one of the world’s most beautiful stages. To learn more about someone who might have been a Shakespeare character, eccentric millionaire George Whittel, tour Thunderbird Lodge, the estate he built complete with secret tunnels and the legendary Thunderbird yacht. For an experience of cutting-edge science, Tahoe Science Center has 3-D movies and interactive exhibits produced by UC Davis researchers, the world-experts in their fields. Straddling the California/Nevada border, Crystal Bay has both glittering scenery and casino lights, with gaming action found at three casinos.

For outdoor adventure, hit the mountain bike park at Northstar California Resort or access hiking trails (complete with geocache stashes) via gondola or chairlift. Mountain bike trails range from scenic pedals to advancedonly terrain and jumps. Northstar’s mountain bike resort is the largest in Northern California. Hiking trails heading out from the resort lead to lake views or sweeping panoramas of Martis Valley. Leashed dogs are welcome on lifts and trails. The Village at Northstar is the center of energy during the summer, with an outdoor roller-skating rink surrounded by restaurants and cafes, live music often playing on the outdoor stage. There is a two-screen movie theater nearby, as well as miniature golf, gem panning, a kids climbing wall and bungee trampoline. Northstar’s golf course is a beautiful 18-hole layout curving through the forests. Northstar has a number of events and festivals throughout the summer and fall, from Beerfest and Bluegrass to Autumn Food and Wine and an Enduro World Series race. Check out Tahoe Star Tours’ evenings under the night sky, then cozy up next to one of the quiet fire pits surrounding the village rink.

Truckee The historic Old West town of Truckee is less than 15 miles from North Lake Tahoe. Its downtown buildings are wonderfully preserved and house a wide variety of modern boutiques, restaurants, watering holes, galleries and shops. Truckee and its environs played a seminal role in the opening of the American West, first as a stop on the route pioneers took to California, then as the site of the most difficult phase of track-laying of the first Intercontinental Railroad. It was once a notorious frontier town, the center of the ice industry and, more than 100 years ago, the site of one of the West’s first winter mountain resorts. At Donner Memorial State Park you’ll find a museum as well as quiet beaches on the shores of Donner Lake. Nearby Donner Summit has worldclass rock climbing, historic train tunnels, and beautiful views off Old Highway 40. Tahoe Donner is just above Truckee with a popular 18-hole golf course and clubhouse. Hiking and biking routes are nearby. For a riverside cycle, Truckee and the community of Glenshire are now connected by a beautiful bike route—the Truckee Legacy Trail.
