Tahoe's Tranquil Autumn: 12 Deals to Make the Most of the Season

By Shanie Matthews | Wednesday, September 13, 2023

As the days grow shorter and the air crisps with the arrival of autumn, Lake Tahoe begins to reclaim its serene charm. The beaches, once bustling with summer crowds, now offer a tranquil escape. The hiking trails, devoid of large groups, resonate with the sounds of forest creatures preparing for winter. Meanwhile, the ski resorts are diligently gearing up for the upcoming snow season. Lake Tahoe enters a special time of year when the pace slows down, allowing you to truly savor the natural beauty that surrounds you.

Fall happens to be my favorite season in Lake Tahoe, and it's not just because of the soothing ambiance brought by cooler temperatures and fewer visitors. It's also the season of fantastic deals, from outdoor adventures to clothing, group activities to dining discounts. If you're looking to save some money while enjoying the best of Lake Tahoe, read on to discover 12 deals offered by our local businesses.
