Great weather, as always, and some fun events make for a wonderful weekend in the mountains. Come on up and enjoy a free concert or two, a hike or bike ride and maybe a round of golf. While you’re at it, why not look into buying a mountain retreat that you could enjoy all year?
Two events on Saturday are taking th spotlight this weekend -
First is the Martis Camp Home Tour benefiting the Tahoe Truckee Excellence in Education Foundation. Spend the day exploring six remarkable one-of-a-kind custom homes at Martis Camp and help raise money to benefit local schools during the Excellence in Education Home Tour. Excellence in Education has partnered with Martis Camp and the Tahoe Sierra Board of Realtors for this unique event that showcases a group of distinct homes. Discover many of the latest trends and creative ideas in luxury home building as envisioned by several of the region’s premiere architects, builders, designers and landscapers.
Second is the 30th Annual Squaw Valley Mountain Run / Hike. For the past 29 years, on the first Saturday of August, hundreds runners and hikers have made the annual pilgrimage to the top of Squaw Valley to enjoy a great workout with stunning views of Lake Tahoe and the High Sierra. Starting at the base of Squaw Valley USA (6200′) the course climbs the 3.6 mile mountain run to High Camp (8200′) where awards, raffle, music, light refreshments & beer are provided. Participants can choose to RUN or take a more leisurely pace and HIKE or Nordic walk (hike with poles). For the less energetic – let the cable car do the 2000 foot elevation gain & participate in the beautiful 3 mile FLOWER WALK on easy rolling terrain.
Come on up and enjoy some of these great events. You can always check out my Calendar of Events to see what’s happening and for more details.
