Moving to S. Lake Tahoe Advice/Tips
|
Hi All! |
|
Just rent a JUCY camper van and sleep in the Lover's Leap parking lot. |
|
Best of luck, you will love it up there. You may find work in Reno or Carson doing what you have been doing. I have a friend that worked near South Lake Tahoe & lived in Carson, not a bad drive. |
|
Colton, that’s something I’ve definitely considered. Is that free/cheap and legal? Any other spots like that closer to the town? |

I once got busted in Eldorado NF during January or February, although to be fair, I had no idea it was closed. Luckily the ranger who came up was pretty nice about it and didn't ticket me. |
|
South Lake is like the LA of Tahoe. |
|
I'll likely wait out the winter in LA but could go up there march or april. |
|
Mike Carson City is very affordable, extremely well located for climbing and skiing. Reno is now just a twenty five minute with the new freeway. Something to consider as for a good bang for the buck. |
|
Anybody have any RV/camper locations that can be used for long term camping? Preferably in BLM or NF land off the beaten path. |

SHHHHHH!Haha Ian you're not even climbing the local routes here. You spend all your time cranking down South or up at the lake We can let one more climber in before we wall of Carson. LOL |
|
Also, Carson has an In-N-Out. Definitely stokes me out every time I drive down to the east side. |
|
I Currently live 3 blocks away from an in n out so Carson city has definitely been in the running! Haha! |
|
Don’t move to Tahoe it is a thought place to hang but is it so worth it. Not much opportunity for your job description, if you do find something expect a decrease. |
|
South Lake is too touristy. The Nevada side of Tahoe is going to be considerably cheaper. I live in South Reno, and I live less than a block from In N Out! ;) |
|
I've lived in Reno close to ten years. |

Well we actually do have a real climbing shop in Reno it's called Nevada Adventure rental. https://nevadaadventurerentals.com/ They have the largest climbing selection in Reno. I think it might be the best selection in Northern Nevada. The owner Barry is a AMGA guide. Barry has climbed all over the area and is a pretty nice guy. You can't go wrong with Reno or Carson for climbing. Donner is only 45 minutes You have River Rock or Dinosaur in Carson city for quick trips after work. Then all kinds of stuff at South Lake not too bad of a drive on the weekends. In the winter we have a few local craggs to hit up as well in Dayton and Pyramid when you can't drive down to Alabama hills or owens. Read the last sentence in this photo it says it all. This will give a sense of the climbing community in Carson and Reno. The Valley is a little over 4 hours in the summer and 5 in the winter. |

I’ve been in Gardnerville almost seven years after leaving CA. I will never live in CA again. This area is awesome (all of Northern NV). Lots of construction going on, both residential and commercial, especially in the Reno/Sparks area. |

I’ll check it out for sure! 2) I’m digging your style! Reminds me of climbing ice in Michigan! |

Reno is wonderful for climbers/skiers/lovers of outdoors...I grew up there, and love heading back to see family. |

Random plug for Sacramento, I love that place. |
