After a long day out and about, take some much-needed time to unwind at the Spa at Silver Legacy. Check out their pool, sauna, and fitness center to get the best self-care day in town. From massages to manicures there is an abundance of options to cater to every relaxation need. Your worries and tired muscles will become a thing of the past during an afternoon of well-deserved pampering.
Good Morning, Pyramid Lake
Less than 40 miles northeast of Reno, located on the Pyramid Lake Paiute Reservation, Kooyooe Pa’a Panunadu, is a lakeside haven for fly fishers everywhere. Embark on an early morning fishing expedition at Pyramid Lake for the experience of a lifetime, fishing for the elusive Cui-ui and Lahontan Cutthroat Trout. And no matter how successful your day of fishing is, we won’t tell anyone if you share some larger-than-life fish tales.
World-Class Fishing
Whether you’re a fly-fishing pro or new to the sport, joining the Kooyooe Pa’a Guides for your fly fishing experience at Pyramid Lake ensures not only a memorable fishing experience, but also provides expert insights into the unique ecology of the lake.
All Fun and Games
The stories of your trip so far sound even better when shared with friends over a tasty craft beer. Cap off your day at the Brewer’s Cabinet with some beer (we recommend the Dirty Wookie, a local favorite), good food and friendly competition! Unwind on their heated patio or try your hand at some shuffleboard, either way, this is your ideal après adventure spot near downtown Reno. One good toast deserves another, so don’t let your brewery exploration stop here. Reno Tahoe is home to dozens of craft breweries with always-on-tap favorites and unique seasonal creations. Let our Brewery Map lead the way to your next favorite!
Powdery Paths
There’s something truly magical about walking in an actual winter wonderland. Grab some snowshoes and wander through a real-life snow globe. You can find an abundance of snowshoe trails, perfect for all skill levels and filled with wintry beauty.
Climb to New Heights
Experience the thrill of scaling heights and conquering challenges without braving the elements at Basecamp at the Whitney Peak Hotel. Test your skills on their indoor bouldering courses, or if the weather permits, reach for new heights (literally!) on their outdoor climbing wall.
