Amtrak Vacations

Reno and Lake Tahoe Getaway

Hotel and rental car getaway from Reno to Lake Tahoe, rail priced separately

Amtrak Vacations sells this 4-day, 3-night getaway that pairs Reno, Nevada with Lake Tahoe, on the California-Nevada border in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The package includes 1 night's hotel in Reno, 2 nights' hotel in South Lake Tahoe, and a 3-day compact car rental for driving between the two and around the lake. Rail fare to Reno is priced separately through Rail Experts, from Coach up to Roomette or Bedroom class, so this trip is really a hotel-and-car package rather than a rail itinerary in itself. Once in Lake Tahoe, there's free time for the beaches, the casinos, or a scenic hike through Emerald Bay State Park. It suits travellers who want a short, self-driven Sierra Nevada break rather than a fully organized tour.

Amtrak Vacations publishes no day-by-day itinerary for this package; the evidence covers only the hotel nights, the car rental, and two suggested activities, so confirm timing details with them before booking.
