Up the road from Tahoe City, Squaw Valley is just a lovely high mountain
setting, with a river running through a glorious green meadow in summer.
In winter there's tons of skiing – Squaw Valley was the site
of the 1960 Winter Olympics. |

Hike
up Squaw Creek – From the valley, it's a lovely hike up Squaw Creek,
or head out through Shirley Canyon in the direction of Shirley Lake. In
summer the streams have lots of boulders for scrambling around, this is
a good hike for older kids. Spend your afternoon just exploring the creek. |
