What Made You Decide to Travel to Carson Valley? If it’s because of the many things to do outside, then you’ll never have a dull moment. Staying in the valley during the winter means you will be on the hill riding while everyone else is still digging out their cars. Spring brings the world-famous Sierra Wave – enticing glider pilots the world over to try their hand at breaking a soaring record. Summer is a great time to hike or ride trails along creeks and rivers to refresh your spirit and your legs. Water activities from fishing to paddle boarding to lake cruises will never disappoint. Jump out of your comfort zone with skydiving, or enjoy a round of foot golf with the family. No matter where you go, the view is fantastic.
