* RNO: Nearest airport with airline service; South Lake Tahoe (TVL) and Truckee (TRK) airports have none.

  • Rule of thumb from the Bay Area and Sacramento: US-50 over Echo Summit to South Lake Tahoe and Stateline; I-80 over Donner Summit to Truckee, the North Shore and Incline. The West Shore is about a tie, and in winter depends on SR-89 at Emerald Bay. [OSRM (approx.)]
  • From Reno, the Mount Rose Highway (SR-431) or US-50 over Spooner Summit. Both are NDOT roads where only 4WD/AWD with snow tires or vehicles with chains may pass when controls are up. [OSRM (approx.)][NDOT]
  • SR-89 at Emerald Bay closes at times in winter. We don't publish fixed closure dates — check Caltrans live status before you go. [Caltrans]
