Top 10 Things to do with your Mom on Mother’s Day

1. Take a Peak

With winter just behind us not all of the hiking trails are easily accessible but a couple of our favorite early season trails that are completely clear are the Trout Creek Trail and the Legacy Trail. Perfect for hiking or biking.

2. Summit Up

It’s not every year you can ski on Mother’s Day so grab your Spring skiing gear and head for the slopes. Still open are Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows or Mt Rose!

3. Get On it

May is the perfect time to take a road trip – the weather is beautiful and traffic is light. Take a drive around Lake Tahoe - the lake is so full that it is a sight to see! Or head north on CA89 to Lassen Volcanic Park for a treat.

4. Munch Brunch

Celebrate mom and loved ones with a holiday-inspired brunch menu at Manzanita at the Ritz Carlton Lake Tahoe. Unlimited champagne and Bloody Mary bar included!

5. Art Obsession

Check out some of our favorite galleries in Truckee such as The Bolam Gallery, Riverside Studios, Lorien Powers Studio, Knack Art Gallery and The Carmel Gallery.

6. Pampered Queens

Always a favorite for Mom and yourself – get your fingers and toes done at Sassy Nails and Spa, and then treat yourselves to a relaxing massage at Holistic Health Spa Balance. Heavenly!

7. Paint a Masterpiece

Take a painting class at Truckee’s The Painted Vine. Their local instructors provide a fun experience where you can sip wine while you create an original art masterpiece that you take home with you.

8. Take a Skydive

This is for all of the adrenalines junkies out there. For an absolute thrill, you can enjoy a view of Truckee and Tahoe only the birds can see. Visit Skydive Truckee Tahoe

9. Shop till you drop

Truckee and Lake Tahoe have an abundance of unique boutiques and shops. Stop by California 89 for a free sticker for Mom!

10. Wine & Dine

End your day with a glass of wine at Uncorked and then dinner at Moody’s - always a favorite Truckee combo!
