Workation in South Lake Tahoe: the essentials
Along the southern edge of Lake Tahoe at about 1,900 metres, this city of some 21,000 people stretches along US 50 instead of gathering around a walkable centre. The east end is all tourism, with Heavenly Mountain Resort behind the hotels and the Nevada casinos just across the state line, while the residential west clusters around the junction known as The Y. Summer means beaches, paddleboards and the Tahoe Rim Trail; winter means deep snow. Rentals get scarce in ski season and in July and August, peak weekend traffic is heavy, and wildfire smoke can drift in late in summer. Reno-Tahoe International Airport is about 65 km away in a straight line, and the road over the mountains is longer.
