Reno Tahoe in Fall
Crisp air & colorful views
Fall brings cooler temperatures and a slower pace to Reno Tahoe, with daytime highs typically in the 70s before winter sets in. It’s an ideal season for fishing, hiking, biking and savoring fall flavors at local shops and restaurants. Around Lake Tahoe, sunny days and temperatures in the 60s and low 70s create perfect conditions for outdoor exploration—plus fewer crowds make it easier to soak in the region’s natural beauty.
