Kirkwood Inn | Lake Tahoe | Highway 88 | Nevada | travel tip

Reader's Choice

by American Way Staff

"When you’re tired of hiking but still want great mountain scenery, drive south of Lake Tahoe on Highway 88 to the Kirkwood Inn [209-258-7304] in Kirkwood, Nevada. The drive goes through a mountain pass and beside alpine lakes. It’s spectacular. And the roadhouse fills up with friendly Bay Area bikers who love that road."

Our thanks to Dave Bartusek, President, Prairie Home Builders; 58,135 AAdvantage miles.

In the know? We want to know, too! Whether you log more miles than one of our 767s or simply jet to the beach each summer, we bet you’ve discovered great places and have pointers to share. To send your travel tip to Reader’s Choice.
