Brave the Elements
Weather conditions vary across the Forest, where elevation ranges from 1,500 feet in the American River Canyon to over 9,400 feet over Mount Lola at the Sierra Nevada crest. Be prepared for sudden changes in weather and check current conditions before you adventure out.
Manage the Heat
Sunny days are ideal for summer recreation, but prolonged exposure to high temperatures can be dangerous. Before visiting, learn how to protect yourself and others while recreating in the heat.
Prepare for the Cold
The Tahoe National Forest is a winter wonderland during the colder months. Whether you are ice fishing, snowmobiling, skiing or sledding, remember to make safety your top priority.
