NGAUS Vibrations Motorcycle Ride. Riders will start and end in Reno, but have a choice of two different scenic routes. One is a leisurely ride to and around Lake Tahoe, the largest alpine lake in North America, and then a stop at Carson City, the state capital. The second is more challenging, covering twisty roads, Lake Tahoe and a stop at the historic mining town of Virginia City. Both routes involve less than three hours of riding.

It also overlooks Lake Tahoe. You will choose between two trails. One is 2.5 miles up and back (5 miles total); the other is 5.5 miles up and back (11 miles total).Hike up Mt Rose, an extremely scenic hike with trails that have great views.
