Last Week in Reno Tahoe on Instagram
In Reno Tahoe, it’s hard to set down the camera when there is a priceless moment around every corner needing to be captured. Instagram is a visitor’s staple. We’ve gathered six pics from last week, 5/6 – 5/13 , that are too ridiculously awesome to not share. To be featured in next week’s blog, tag us on Instagram at @renotahoeusa or #reno or #tahoe!

Ready….. GO! Any road trip is a little anticlimactic… but look at that enthusiasm radiating from those cows!
Nevada is not a small state; you’ll need some potty breaks. And what’s a road trip without an absurd amount of unnecessary snacks? Support the locals, and stop at one of the local fresh jerky shops!
The folk in Beaty, NV sell some divine “made in the desert” jam. Could go great on your college student budget go-to lunch… the PB& J.
Alas, the real reason for pulling over. Beef Sticks. So don’t leave empty handed. “Gus’s Really Good Fresh Beef Sticks” were picked up by these ladies, Gus screams “Really Good,” literally.
Warning, peeling off the skin may not be the best idea to spark an appetite. Just leave it be. Trust us.
More often than not, you’ll find yourself in the middle of miles and miles of… well, nothing. But that makes the drive that much more fun. Cleans yourself of your crazy busy life, and put the pedal to the metal… until you reach the speed limit, of course.
After long miles in the car, the itch happens to everyone, so don’t deny it. Satisfy the hankering and make some ruckus in all that vast, peaceful space. After all, it’s Spring Break, baby! Get out of the car, play, jump, scream, do whatever you please. You’re in the middle of a desert, you are the only thing for miles, there is no judging. Plus it’s good to stretch those legs.
Nestled between the vast spaces across good ol’ NV, there are many hidden gems that don’t get the attention they deserve – like driving on the shores of Walker Lake outside Hawthorne.
Or, the towering Sierra Nevada Mountains in Carson Valley. Stunning!
No shame in taking a quick power nap, you’ll need it.
But make sure the driver wakes you up for this moment… Ahhh. Finally!
Grab some grub at a favorite burger spot, the Awful Awful, for an awfully big, and awfully good tasting burger.
All-you-can-eat sushi
It’s spring break… 
Just 45 minutes from Reno, dig your toes into the sandy shores of Tahoe. For the ultimate hangover cure: go for a quick dip.
Lastly, don’t forget to snap your pic under the iconic Reno Arch! Renoites know the arch pic is an imperative part of every trip, so most will stop and wait for you, but nonetheless, please watch for oncoming traffic!
