Far far away, in a land where there were many mountains, far from the land of metropolitans, there was a small city with a big heart called Truckee in California. It was a town of beauty flanked by snow in the winter and rapidly flowing water in the summer. An environment worthy of being called nature’s playground.

Sustainable Truckee, an initiative funded by Visit Truckee-Tahoe, is all about protecting Truckee’s environmental assets, while supporting the ever-growing desire for outdoor recreation. Spending time in nature is critical for the long-term preservation of this mountain town and community. Tourism, by its very nature, values the things that all of us treasure – our environment, culture, and people.

As a visitor, it is hoped that you embody the mindset of a local by respecting Truckee-Tahoe. Ask yourself, what if this was my home? Extend the same love, care, and respect that you have for your home and everyone in it to this magical place we hold near and dear. Manners aren’t just for the dinner table anymore, they’re for the trail, the beach, and locals shops too.

You’ll be able to enjoy everything Truckee has to offer time and time again!
