Lake Tahoe Snowmobile Tour, Tahoe Vista

The Sierra Nevada is millions of years old and offers acres upon acres of unexplored beauty. The guides of Lake Tahoe Snowmobile Tours have only been in business since 1984, but they're doing their best to catch up. Every winter, they initiate newcomers into the area's austere beauty by leading adventures in and around the powdered landscapes of Lake Tahoe.

On tours, groups of all ages wind through national forests on both groomed and fluffy powder trails, zooming through the mountains, across snowy meadows, and up to summits as high as 9,000 feet that overlook the lake. Along the ride, scheduled stops let riders explore the scenery, take photos, and leave their mark on the land forever by making a snow angel.
