Travel Recommendations
We are very much looking forward to spending time with you to celebrate our wedding. We are just two weeks away and wanted to share additional travel information so that you can share some of the aspects we love about Lake Tahoe and have a wonderful time!
Additionally, we wanted to announce a shuttle service would be available for guests staying close by (within a 5 miles radius), on our wedding day. As mentioned below, please let us know if you are interested by Sunday, July 27th so that we can ensure those interested can be accommodated.
When packing, keep in mind both Lake Tahoe and San Francisco are cool on summer nights. Bring a jacket and plan to dress in layers, as the temperatures at night will go into the 40’s.
WHAT TO DO IN LAKE TAHOE:
Visit Emerald Bay.
Shop and stroll in downtown Tahoe City and Truckee.
Gamble on the California/Nevada line.
Hike a section of the Tahoe Rim trail for beautiful views of the Lake.
