The tour begins in Reno and climbs out of the basin to the East Bowl atop Mt. Rose Summit, where it is not unusual to see a hang glider take a leap off of the 3,000 foot drop. This vista is perhaps one of the best views our area has to offer, overlooking Washoe Valley, Carson Valley, Eagle Valley, Truckee Meadows and the Sweetwater Mountain range. After we begin our descent down into the Tahoe Basin we stop at the next highlight of the tour, an incredible vista overlooking Incline, Mt. Tallac, Desolation Wilderness and the beautiful blue waters of Lake Tahoe. Coming down off the Mt. Rose highway we reach the lakeside town of Incline Village, the film site of the hit TV show Bonanza. We continue along Lake Tahoe and enter into California to visit the historic Cal Neva Resort & Casino, CA to learn some history about Frank
Sinatra and the Rat Pack. Then drive along the east side of the lake and gradually make our way down to the Carson Valley and then over to Virginia City, a 19th century mining town, where guests can go on a walkabout tour, explore a real mine, or shop.
