Discover Palisades Tahoe and familiarize yourself with the area when you explore alongside a knowledgeable and often local guide. Immerse yourself in nature by venturing along the hiking trails in the summer, and in the winter, don’t let the powder slow you down when you slap on a pair of snowshoes. But the modes of travel vary here. Set off on a bicycling expedition. And for incredible bird’s-eye views of the mountains, basin and more, try a helicopter or plane tour or take a ride up the mountain in an aerial tram.
