Despite growth, it retains its ties with the past, particularly in Old Town. Truckee has been placed on the State Historic Registry, and part of Old Town is on the National Register of Historic Districts. With the Truckee River flowing by and snowcapped mountains in view, visitors can explore delightful shops, galleries, a variety of restaurants and pubs, an historic hotel and landmarks that date from the 1860s. Using Truckee as a base, it is a short trip to Reno, Nevada, and your stay should include a trip to nearby Lake Tahoe for the spectacular scenery.
