With temperatures soaring this summer you may find yourself going stir-crazy at home to escape the blistering heat. Fear not, we’ve got five ways you can beat the heat in the Reno/Tahoe area this summer.
I Scream You Scream
Remember the days you would stop in your tracks to bolt towards the sound of the cheery ice cream truck jingle? Since then you’ve matured, and so has the ice cream. The Baked Bear has elevated childhood classics such as root beer floats and ice cream sandwiches. They have over ten delectable flavors and mix-and-match tops and bottoms, including donuts and brownies, creating sweet treats to delight your inner child.
Chasing Waterfalls
Kings Canyon Waterfall trail is everything you could hope for a hike on a hot day. The trail itself is a 1.8-mile loop. However you can get to the twenty-five foot cascading falls in less than a mile from the trail head. It is a slow gradual incline, making its spectacular views accessible for all ages and abilities.
Tahoe Cruise
Board the award-winning M.S. DIXIE II to be whisked away into the sunset with the elegant views of the Emerald Bay on the horizon. On this climate-controlled wheeled paddler, enjoy refreshing cocktails, exquisite entrees and live entertainment with the majestic beauty of Tahoe as the backdrop. You’ll quickly forget the summer’s heat while on board this floating piece of paradise.
