2002 Grand National
Lake Tahoe, the "Jewel of the Sierra," is one of the top visitor destinations in the world, with matchless
scenic beauty and recreation options.
Tahoe's weather is typically warm and golden in October, and there are no "high season" crowds to disturb
your enjoyment. Many of the area's finest restaurants offer 2-for-1 dining specials at this time of year,
and merchants court your business.
Be aware that this alpine paradise is at 6,222 feet elevation. The air is thinner and the sun more intense
at this altitude. Flatlanders should avoid overexertion, and everyone at Tahoe needs to drink more water
and use more sun protection than at sea level. Carbohydrate consumption has been found to alleviate the
effects of high altitude, while drinking alcohol tends to aggravate them. Consult your doctor about any
health concerns you may have relating to high altitude.
