#truckeemomentsexperience. share. repeat.

W hat do you love about Truckee? Is it a fresh powder day on the slopes under blue skies and abundant sunshine? An action-packed day of

water sports and fun at Donner Lake beneath the grandeur of Donner Summit? Hiking up one of your favorite trails and the spectacular vistas you see along the way to your secret little lake? Or is it enjoying a great meal and special drink at your favorite restaurant with friends? Whatever it is, we want people to experience all that Truckee has to offer, share it through social media, and repeat —enjoy more and more of all the activities, events, and lifestyle that Truckee offers.

A few months ago we started a movement … a social media movement … we asked people to share their favorite Truckee moments by taking a photo, tagging it with #truckeemoments, and sharing it on social media. Throughout this guide you will see some of the cool photos and experiences people have shared to reflect what they love about Truckee.

What makes Truckee such a great mountain town? In addition to the dramatic scenery and outstanding recreation, it is the people. Truckee attracts adventurous, like-minded people that may have come here for a variety of reasons, but stay because they love the lifestyle, and share a sense of community pride. Be sure to read the profiles within these pages of just a few of our locals that call Truckee home. Learn why they chose the Truckee area, where they came from, and what motivates them to get up every day and live the Truckee lifestyle to the fullest.

Enjoy your time in Truckee creating your own #truckeemoments—and be sure to share them!

HOLLY Hust

Occupation: Fitness & Yoga extraordinaire

Greatest Accomplishment: Gosh, giving birth to my son Maverick for sure—hands down! And, I feel so blessed that I have found a sweet spot in the fitness & wellness industry—teaching kickboxing, body sculpt, yoga, and other fitness formats has become a great passion —and growing my business in this town has been awesome!

Years in Truckee Area: 11 years

Originally From: Ventura, california

Why the Truckee Area? There are so many aspects of Truckee that I am totally in love with, but one of my favorites is the strong sense of community—there are a lot of amazing people in this town and so much natural beauty—living so high in the sierras is a dream come true!

Truckee’s Official Visitors Guide 2020 truckee.com

truckee TOP TRAIL RUnnInG TOWn

Check out a few of our favorite trail runs:

Pacific Crest Trail – Donner Summit to Squaw valley This quintessential Truckee trail run is 15 miles one way with spectacular scenic vistas along the way. Arrange to leave a car at each end.Pacific Crest Trail – Donner Summit to Interstate 80 For an

eight-mile, rolling out-and-back, run from where the trail crosses Highway 40 north to Interstate 80 at donner summit and back.

Summit Lake – Donner Summit start at the negro canyon trailhead at I-80 and donner Lake road. An access trail meets up with the donner Lake rim Trail and crosses several impressive bridges on your way to summit Lake, 7400 ft. Also accessible from the Pacific crest Trail.

Emigrant Trail There are many accessible points, one of the favorites is north on s89 after the donner Pass rd roundabout proceed 7 miles north and park at the pullout for the Prossor creek bridge. The trail is rolling and fairly level. It is an out and back or one way to stampede (approximately 9 miles)

There are several area running clubs including the donner Party Mountain runners donnerpartymountainrunners.com and the Tahoe Mountain Milers tahoemountainmilers.org.

Pounding the pavement

is overrated — the

trail is the real path to

fitness. Truckee receives many

accolades, one of which was

being named one of the top Trail

Running Towns by TrailRunner

Magazine where they said

“Truckee is a laid-back town with

a hyper focus on outdoor sports.”

We agree!


Tahoe Donner is a spectacular alpine playground, any time of year. From your vantage point on the fairway, on horseback, bike, skis or sled, you realize how much fun life can be. The great outdoors, dining, and entertainment… come and check out all the possibilities.

RICHARD Blair

Occupation: Owner Black diamond computer consulting, singer/songwriter

Greatest Accomplishment: There isn’t really one “thing” that stands out, but the sum of everything that has come together since moving to Truckee that has made it a great life.

Just moving to a beautiful mountain town, with nothing but my wife and a lot of ambition and then being able to find a deeply satisfying way to live and survive with a successful computer business and a satisfying music career. All the many great friends and lifetime bonds that are gathered through this Truckee lifestyle is priceless.


Originally From: Born in Lodi, california and in 1970 moved to Moscow and sun Valley, Idaho. Moved back to Truckee in 1986.

Why the Truckee Area? exciting mountain ski town environment with clean air and water, healthy attitudes, and the abundance of unlimited/diversified outdoor activities year-round.

Occupation:Veterinarian and Owner of sierra Pet clinic

Greatest Accomplishment:Professionally, I would have to say getting into and finishing veterinary school. It is a very rigorous and time consuming program and only when it was all said and done did it hit me: wow! I did that. I owe a lot of that credit to my son’s father, however. Without the support he provided to me and our young son it would have been a much harder row to hoe. Personally, it would be hard to argue that any accomplishment is greater than having and raising kids. everything you thought you knew about life goes right out the window when that new little sheriff arrives in town.

Originally From: I am originally from Madison, Wisconsin. I moved to Truckee in March of 2013 when the opportunity to buy sierra Pet clinic arose.

Why the Truckee Area?

Who could ask for a more wonderful place to live? Amazing people, amazing pets, one of the most beautiful and refreshing places. For active people it really could not get better than this spectacular mountain town. I have been visiting the Tahoe region since my mother moved to the area in 1987. On those trips came the revelation that I am a mountain girl at heart.

Donner Pass• The pass was the last challenge in a 2,000

mile journey for early emigrants heading west seeking a better life (the california Trail).

• It was the most challenging segment in the building of the Transcontinental railroad, trying to blast through the mighty granite of the sierra nevada.

• It opened up the Overland Route train line that allowed train travel from california to chicago.

• It was a key pass along the Lincoln Highway, one of the first transcontinental highways for automobiles across the united states of America. The highway turns 100 years old in 2013.

• It is known as U.S. Route 40, which once traversed the entire united states. It is one of the original 1920’s u.s. Highways and was built on top of several older highways, most notably the Victory Highway, designed as a memorial to World War I veterans.

• Interstate 80, the second-longest interstate highway in the united states, was built in the 1960’s.

• The pass is a prominent feature along the california Zephyr passenger train route.

Royal GorgeThe Truckee donner Land Trust acquired 3,000 acres on donner summit known as royal Gorge, and 351 acres in negro canyon above donner Lake. This might be one of the most important conservation victories for the sierra in a generation, ensuring all of royal Gorge’s remarkable meadows, peaks, natural resources, and the nordic ski area are protected forever and open to the public for world-class recreation.

Pacific Crest Trail The Pacific crest Trail (commonly abbreviated as the PcT) is a long-distance hiking and equestrian trail. It is a 2,663 miles long trail running from Mexico to canada along the crest of the mountains in california, Oregon, and Washington. You’ll find yourself on sections of the Pacific crest Trail on many hikes on donner summit. One popular local PcT hike is from donner summit to squaw Valley, 6.0 miles one way. Hikers attempting the PcT in its entirety are commonly seen in July passing through.

#truckeemoments...

Join in the fun of this social media

movement! Truckee moments —we

all have them—a bluebird day on the

slopes with fresh powder, an early morning

paddle board on Donner Lake, taking in the

spectacular vistas while hiking or biking

your favorite trail, a gorgeous sunrise or

sunset, sipping your favorite cocktail with

friends, playing with your dog in the river.

The moments are endless and we want you to

share your love of Truckee and take pictures,

share them through social media, and tag

them with #truckeemoments!
