Welcome to Truckee, California
Welcome to Truckee, a California mountain town steeped in western history, culture, and chock-full of outdoor adventure. Our town sits just below the crest of the Sierra Nevada at 5800 ft. elevation and is surrounded by the natural beauty of the Tahoe National Forest, just a 20 minute drive from the emerald waters of Lake Tahoe, one of Northern California’s most treasured gems. As the official tourism authority for Truckee, we'll help you find adventure ideas, discover events, dining and shopping, plan your stay, and learn how to support a Sustainable Truckee.
We Believe
Travel makes us stronger and kinder. Immersing oneself in new landscapes, meeting new people, broadens our perspectives, expands our knowledge, and pushes our boundaries in a positive way. With that opportunity, comes a commitment to sustainability at home and abroad. And we believe the best sustainability practices are built when we strengthen our connections and relationships to the land and to other people.
