Everything you need to know for visiting North Lake Tahoe – things to do, where to stay, where to eat, best hikes, scenic views and so much more!
North Lake Tahoe is a nature lover’s paradise year-round, with a wealth of outdoor activities and opportunities to connect with nature. It’s also the place to catch fall colors in Northern California. We visited the first week of November and still managed to catch the tail end of the season.
Fall just might be the best season to visit Lake Tahoe. It’s between the busy summer and winter seasons, meaning traffic from San Francisco is almost nonexistent! It took about three hours to get there from the city. Off season also means it’s easy to get a table at some of the most popular restaurants and hotel prices take a dip. There was hardly anyone on the hikes we did and the beaches were nearly empty at sunset. If you’re lucky, you may even catch mild weather – it was in the high 60’s while we were there.

Our only agenda was a relaxing day at Wente Vineyards. Wente is honestly one of the prettiest wineries we’ve ever visited. The white buildings remind me of our trip to South Africa. The temperate fall weather and palm trees really made it feel like we were on vacation…. Read More »
Going to Dallas? Here’s where to eat and drink, where to find the best murals and other things to do in Dallas, Texas on your trip! P.S. – many are FREE!
This was my first visit to Dallas. Brandon and I spent a long weekend there checking out the chic new Canopy Hotel in Uptown as part of a content creation project with Hilton.
We fell in love with this vibrant and colorful city and the friendly people who live there. It definitely exceeded my expectations – especially their food scene, which is the perfect mix of Tex-Mex classics and new, more contemporary, dining options. It also checked all my boxes in terms of Instagram opportunities (mural game is STRONG) and free or cheap things to do.
