Press play for background Fall vibes.
Fall is officially here (even though these hot temps may say otherwise. Heel click is happening either way). Get your funky sweaters out (yes, I'm making an exception from my usual function over fashion life), fill up the gas thank (trust me, you won't want to pass up our glorious fall landscapes), & get your garlic braids, crosses, & salt out (just in case you'll need to ward off any vampires during one of Reno's endless October happenings).
You'd think I grew up surrounded by a lot of Halloween festivities in my younger years, right? Well, not exactly. My love for Halloween was sparked early and involved movies. Lucky for me (not so lucky for others who get spooked easily), I got away with watching all of the most epic Halloween movies in my early years (thanks mom & dad), movies that have transcended generations - Children of The Corn, The Gremlins, Halloween, Candy Man, IT, Friday the 13th, The Exorcist, Pet Sematery, The Blaire Witch project...and all of the other classics. If you know, you know. If you don't know, you MUST know! LOL. I'll add in a list of must watch Halloween movies somewhere in this guide, so be sure to check back later.
***Update: Check out this new post featuring a curated list of must watch Halloween movies made by Tim, co-owner of Terror - the biggest little local year round shop dedicated to all things horror.
The more I reflect on these movies, the more I appreciate them. Did they give me nightmares and force me to shower with one eye open? Sure. But they've ultimately shaped my love for Halloween, a love that makes me feel so whole and so alive. Filmmakers back in the day didn’t have fancy equipment or advanced technology. They had to rely entirely on their skills in storytelling, crafting perfectly complementary scores, and building tension so deliberately that our imaginations couldn’t help but fill in the blanks. Thinking back on these films makes me realize how special Halloween really is. It fills the air with magic and anticipation, and that feeling of stepping into another world for a little while.
If you know me, you know I don't mess around when it comes to fun, especially holiday fun, and I always do my best to let everyone in on the action. I'll happily give you all the details you need to lock that fun into your calendar (just thinking about how small a scale some of these events operate on sorta makes my blood pressure rise), LOL. In other words, tickets are limited. Be sure to snag them & book/RSVP any events that catch your eye ASAP. If I'm sounding a little like an obsessed holiday person, I AM, and... you're welcome.
We have all sorts of stuff going on all throughout the month of October, and even long before it even starts. Exit summer parties, October Fests, local's summer shenanigans, & festivals kick off the start of a fall/Halloween season that's cozy, spooky, and packed with so many memory making opportunities. If you take a moment and reflect back on your past, what kind of memories stick out (besides the ones where you got into trouble)? Memories centered around experiences, right? Particularly the ones attached with heightened emotions.
Now… back to fall & Halloween. Halloween is the most informal holiday that doesn’t quite get its own official day, yet is celebrated and obsessively loved by millions of people all over the country. Here in Reno, Halloween action is everywhere. And, I'm pretty proud to say that we do a pretty job on the spooky front. You’ll find free, epic backyard haunts and Halloween displays tucked away in neighborhoods across town, built purely out of passion, some so massive they even have sponsors and have made it onto TV. Ever wonder who buys all those huge decorations at Home Depot or Spirit of Halloween? Wonder no more.
Or how about an event where thousands of drunk zombies take over the streets of downtown. Out with the old, in with the new - zombie watching over people watching.
Knock out a two birds one stone special with Virginia City’s Redrun VII - The Resurrection, where you can get your exercise in while outrunning zombies for dear life. Brave the chill at Sand Harbor with spooky movies under the stars, hop aboard the Twain Train to hang out with Mark Twain himself, channel your inner phantom at a masquerade party set in one of Reno’s oldest mansions, dance and party like you’re under a Sanderson Sisters’ spell, witness & become part of a Victorian Nightmare, & strut your true identity loud and proud on Halloween down the streets of one of the most haunted towns in the country, and the LIST. GOES. ON.
...And FALL... oh, fall. Its golden glory, Hallmark vibes, nostalgic displays, crisp as apple cider air, and pumpkin spice everything. There really is no end to the magic of the season.

Events in Detail
Do you know about the wide variety of events (nearly all of them are free & open to the public) offered by the Washoe County Library System? I made a Halloween themed vinyl bag last year at one of our libraries with the kiddos & it was one of the coolest things we've ever done. Check out their quarterly magazine, Explorer, for the latest happenings.
-September 24-28:

*My POST about Dragon Lights
The Annual Dragon Lights Festival at the Wilbur D. May Arboretum in Reno is always such a magical experience.
Every year, artists fly in from China and hand make the most impressive lanterns that line the pathways of the already beautiful arboretum and bring it to life in a way that's honestly hard to describe. The theme changes every year, so each time you go, it's a fresh experience.
If you're on the fence about going, take it from me—it's an easy yes. How often do you get to experience the city at dark?
What you'll find at the event:
*40+ displays. It seems to keep on growing with each and every year
*A souvenir section with handmade goods (sometimes you can catch workers making)
*Food court filled with local goodness
*Interactive playground. Suited for all ages.
Notes:
-Park in the second lot to the right when you enter from the main entrance

-Groups of 10 and more are discounted

-Have your tickets ready to scan at the gate by opening up your email for the QR code.
-A box office is available for walk ups
-Porta potties are available inside the event
-Check the weather ahead of time to dress accordingly.
-Bring your own water to stay hydrated and save a little money
-Season passes are available if you’re planning to visit more than once.

*My REEL of this haunt.
Halloween fans, horror fans, thrill seekers, and the brave and the bold.... Come a little closer.
Let me introduce you to your newest Halloween obsession - @finalhourhaunt.
Only 5 nights left for this top Halloween attraction.
October 24, 25, 30, 31, & November 1.
10,000 square feet
Professional actors
8pm - Midnight
This haunt is owned and operated by a family headed by Kyle, a man who's dreamed of creating a haunt of his own since he was a kid. I found out about this detail through his mom, who was at the front office along with the rest of the family. I'm not kidding when I say that this is one of the sweetest ladies I've met in Reno. So ironic because her son is responsible for this incredible haunt. It's the genes I tell ya!
This is the power of manifestation. And lucky for us, we get to reap the benefits of this dream come to life in the form of an incredible haunt that holds within it tons of Halloween magic. The details .. the characters... The scenes and the excitement.
You'll find it all here at The Final Hour.
I tried not to include too many details to leave the experience a surprise. Consider this reel a trailer for one of the best attractions you can experience in Reno during the month of October.
Notes
*Google directions misses the mark by just a little bit. Instead of turning at the gate area, make sure to look for a nearby gray "logic" sign and turn into that parking lot
*Dress warm as you'll be waiting outside
*Jump scares & strobe lights included
*I advise Kyle to add in a couple of stair lights at the end of the haunt as I didn't catch them in the darkness. The floor at the end is also a little uneven, so please watch your step
*4-5 time slots available
*Staff is super professional and friendly
*Recommended for ages 8+
*Tickets 🎟️
$32.80 general admission
$48.70 VIP (gets you front of the line access)
I've been posting about Kyle's haunt in my fall guide for the past 3 years. I've totally have been sleeping on this gem. It was finally nice to have made it out. Thanks so much, Kyle, for horrifying great time. 🖤🔪

If you'd like to witness the most fun human beings on the planet make a spectacle of themselves, attend this event. It will put a big smile on your face. VC itself is a major attraction in the area, so when you make it out for an event, you also get the wholerest of the town to experience & explore.
Visit my friends at Bonanza Cantina for some authentic Mexican food. The owners, Arturo & Samantha, are so awesome. Hardworking, kind, and always happy to serve. If they have flan on hand on your visit, don't skip out on it. It's one of the best in the area.

Imagine premixing some trendy flavors, freezing them into blocks, then shaving them down into the fluffiest snowy ice (with the most expensive machine, lol) and topping them off with your favorite fresh fruits, candies/cookies, and sauces... This is what Vampire Penguin has to offer. I LOVE this stuff because it's practically a guilt free dessert that's super refreshing and very Instagram worthy. My good friends, Tommy & Trinka, are the owners of this business, and they are such sweet people. If you decide to make it out, make sure to give them your honest feedback (whether good or bad) because they're professional like that and want to make sure you have the best possible product and experience possible.

This poignant and funny play takes its audience through the highlights, heartbreaks and extraordinary moments that make up one woman’s ordinary life."

Club Inferno
*Location:
Bruka Theatre
99 N Virginia St, Reno, NV 89501
"This October, Brüka Theatre proudly announces the Reno premiere of Club Inferno, the electrifying, award-winning glam-rock musical created by Reno native Kell Kittell (book & lyrics) with music by Peter Fogel (music & lyrics). Originally a San Francisco cult sensation, Club Inferno blazes back with a reimagined production that fuses outrageous humor, high-voltage rock anthems, and dazzling theatrical spectacle.
Nightclub diva Dante is electrocuted mid-performance and wakes up in the most fabulous nightclub of all—Hell! Guided by the ancient poet Virgil, she journeys through an all-female underworld: nine levels, each ruled by icons from Cleopatra to Judy Garland. Along the way, she confronts the sins of fame, desire, and excess, all to an addictive glam-rock score. Filled with scandalous humor, dazzling costumes, and literally electrifying performances, the show turns Dante’s Divine Comedy into a cabaret of sin and redemption. By the end, our Dante discovers that in Hell, the only way out is to own exactly who you are—heels and all."

Haunted mini golf encapsulated everything I LOVE about Halloween. It has these amazing Halloween themed golf courses that talented local artists build with their own hands. Who is the world builds anything these days... and with their own hands for that matter?!? LOL. To spark a little friendly competition, these artists are rewarded prizes for "Best Hole" and "People's Choice". They are such an inspiration and to be able to enjoy their creations in such a fun manner is just something so special to me. Come out to this event. I can almost guarantee you a good time. Of course, the last bit depends on how much energy you bring and how ready you are to let all of this magic in.
Last year’s event featured cozy hangout spots, a rad local food truck (Silver State Pie Co.), a small bar, a vendor section packed with Halloween themed creations, creepy background music, complimentary candy, a super fun all ages craft (ghost terrariums), and all the vibes you look for in a Halloween celebration.

"Created by the Emmy®-winning writer from “Schitt’s Creek,” this hilarious new musical flips the script on the greatest love story ever told. & Juliet asks: what would happen next if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo? Get whisked away on a fabulous journey as she ditches her famous ending for a fresh beginning and a second chance at life and love—her way.
Juliet’s new story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems as iconic as her name, including "Since U Been Gone‚" "Roar," "Baby One More Time," "Larger Than Life‚" "That’s The Way It Is,“ and "Can't Stop the Feeling!"—all from the genius songwriter/producer behind more #1 hits than any other artist this century. Break free of the balcony scene and get into this romantic comedy that proves there’s life after Romeo. The only thing tragic would be missing it.
& Juliet is recommended for ages 8+ with adult language. Show and dates are subject to change. Some fees may not be refundable. Ticket policies are at the discretion of the theater and may be changed at any time."

I wrote about South 40 on one of my latest REELS on Instagram. I feel like it doesn't get the love it deserves. It has tons of space - restaurant, backyard, patio, restaurant, arcade, and party rooms. As a parent, you can go there knowing your children can roam free and have fun while you kick back and relax. Since their entertainment section was taken over by In The Game two years ago, they've sculpted such rad entertainment/birthday packages & promos, and their food is always yummy (kid's meals are seriously a steal). This spot showcases local talent & serves as the prefect venue for community events.

*Location:

*RSVP
I attended last year’s Vampire Wedding Haunt (REEL), and it was absolutely glorious and unforgettable. Unlike a typical haunt where you just walk through a course and get scared, this one felt more like a full on experience, almost like being part of a live, themed play with a few perfectly placed scares mixed in. The mansion itself is stunning and makes the perfect backdrop for a haunt, and Virginia City is always magical, especially in October when the spooky town vibes are completely off the charts.
Friends, if you’re interested, grab your tickets ASAP! This experience has limited space and time slots. They can only accommodate a small number of people per day.

Last year, I checked out this haunt during its very first season, and let me tell you, it might have been on the smaller side, but it packed in all the spooky, whimsical, Halloween magic I could’ve hoped for. Each section was dripping with detail, the actors kept things lively, and the pacing was spot on. Tip: make sure to take some time to take in the sights and interact with the actors. If you walk past everything too fast, you'll miss out.
This year, and thanks to last season’s success, the haunt has moved into a bigger spot at the Freight Depot. I'm especially looking forward to the new hangout spot with food & drink available for purchase, and a Halloween movie playing the background.
Dress up, head over early, grab a bite and a drink, and soak in the whole Virginia City vibe before heading to the haunt.

November is Native American Heritage Month, which includes Native Hawaiian and other affiliated island communities. Student members of UNR's Hawai'i Club will share music and dance with our audience before the dome show.
The University of Nevada Hawai'i Club shares the history of Hawaii by advocating and educating the greater community of Hawaii’s rich culture and heritage. We will learn about the ancient Hawaiian traditions and values, as well as the modernized way of life on the islands.
Then view selections from "The One Sky Project," which is a production with international collaboration focused on increasing understanding about cultural and indigenous astronomy, its historical and modern applications, and how our One Sky connects us all.
Each short film represents the perspective of a different culture or Indigenous society from around the globe. Each film stands alone as a short story or in combination as a longer narrative – organized around themes of "Finding Patterns" and developing tools, or as we say, "To Seek Far."
"Immerse yourself in the history of Carson Valley with the inaugural running of the Ferris 50. Nestled at the foot of the Carson Range of the Sierra Nevada, Carson Valley was once home to the inventor of the Ferris Wheel, George Washington Gale Ferris. We honor that legacy of ingenuity and grit with a mix of single-track trails, OHV trails, and minimal concrete over three distances that traverse the foothills of eastern Carson Valley. Whether you are an experienced runner seeking a challenge in the off-season or a less experienced runner who is ready to explore greater distances at an entry level, Ferris Fifty is an opportunity to test your mind and body while taking in the captivating views of Job's Peak and the Carson Valley."

This will be a 4.5mile hike with 1045ft elevation gain, and is rated as moderate.
Please meet at the Lakeview Group picnic area, located in Davis Creek Regional Park.
There may be some weather / rain lingering into Saturday, so please come with appropriate footware and attire for the conditions.
We aim for a 3 hour hike, and always recommend you pack lots of water and sunblock.
These hikes are sponsored by Coffeebar, and will have free Trailhead Medium Roast coffee available 15 mins before each hike."
"While Sir Stuffy totally rocks a hard hat, we’ll leave the heavy lifting to the real pros. Our speedy 10k is on hold while Sparks Blvd gets a makeover with road construction, but don’t worry, it’ll be back before you know it. This year’s Turkey Trot will keep things cozy with our classic 2-mile stroll around the Marina, perfect for soaking up the views and holiday cheer. Feeling extra peppy? Go ahead and trot that extra mile… or four… by taking two more laps around the Marina. And to make this year extra memorable, we’re bringing back our famous Turkey Trot sweatshirts!
To help show our support and excitement for the widening project, we are encouraging walkers and runners to wear something "construction" related! We can't wait to see what you all come up with and the runner or walker that has the most construction related clothing on (throughout their run or walk), gets a special prize from our special events team.
Race proceeds ($2 per runner) will go to Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful and Amateur Radio Emergency Services."
"About the event
Enjoy a hot beverage while you make your own crafts and shop for gifts from local vendors. Take a picture with Santa, enjoy storytime with Mrs. Claus, and make sure own gifts for the holiday season! Browse the local vendor stalls for gifts for family and friends, including jewelry, pottery, soap, printmaking, and more!

The University of Nevada Hawai'i Club shares the history of Hawaii by advocating and educating the greater community of Hawaii’s rich culture and heritage. We will learn about the ancient Hawaiian traditions and values, as well as the modernized way of life on the islands.
Then view selections from "The One Sky Project," which is a production with international collaboration focused on increasing understanding about cultural and indigenous astronomy, its historical and modern applications, and how our One Sky connects us all.
Each short film represents the perspective of a different culture or Indigenous society from around the globe. Each film stands alone as a short story or in combination as a longer narrative – organized around themes of "Finding Patterns" and developing tools, or as we say, "To Seek Far."

"Masks, mystery, and mayhem await…will you solve the crime before the final whistle blows?
Join us near the full moon on November 8th for a performance of intrigue, deception, and deadly secrets! Your journey begins with a masquerade ball murder mystery set against the flickering lantern light of our historic Pullman cars. Behind every mask lurks a secret, every smile hides suspicion, and before the night is through… someone will meet a mysterious end. As the train winds through the moonlight of the Comstock's Flowery mountains, passengers become part of the story — observing, questioning, and piecing together clues from the suspects around them. In a murder mystery, anyone could be the culprit. And you become the detectives.
This special evening also celebrates two of Hollywood’s original masters of horror — Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff, whose chilling portrayals of Dracula and Frankenstein’s Monster defined the golden age of gothic cinema. Masks, mystery, and mayhem await aboard the V&T… will you uncover the killer before it’s too late?

“This band feels like the old family farm,” says Sam Doores, one of five songwriters and multi-instrumentalists in the Deslondes. “It’s a place where we can meet for the Fourth of July, bring our families, grill some burgers, and make some music together. It’s always going to be there, and we know it’s going to work and feel good.” After more than 15 years together, four albums, and countless live shows, the five members have found new inspiration in the ties that bind them together as friends and collaborators, as something close to kin. That sense of comfort and commitment animates their new album, Roll It Out, lending it a quiet poignancy as they reflect on what it means to devote yourself to other people—whether it’s family, friends, audiences, or other guys in the tour van with you.
Founded less as a band than as a neighborhood hang at Doores’ home on Deslonde Street, the band devised an anything-goes philosophy that allowed them to incorporate sounds they picked up on their travels and everything they heard at home: classic country, hobo folk, crust punk, rural blues, Third Ward jazz, rockabilly, r&b, Fats Domino and Allen Toussaint but also George Jones and the Band. “We take turns giving each other somebody to lean on when it’s our turn and the freedom to express themself any way they want,” says Riley Downing, who usually plays guitar and sings his own and others’ songs. “That means we don’t have a particular genre. It’s a gumbo of all different genres and time periods. Everybody’s literally into everything.”

"While Sir Stuffy totally rocks a hard hat, we’ll leave the heavy lifting to the real pros.

This year’s Turkey Trot will keep things cozy with our classic 2-mile stroll around the Marina, perfect for soaking up the views and holiday cheer. Feeling extra peppy? Go ahead and trot that extra mile… or four… by taking two more laps around the Marina. And to make this year extra memorable, we’re bringing back our famous Turkey Trot sweatshirts!
To help show our support and excitement for the widening project, we are encouraging walkers and runners to wear something "construction" related! We can't wait to see what you all come up with and the runner or walker that has the most construction related clothing on (throughout their run or walk), gets a special prize from our special events team.
Race proceeds ($2 per runner) will go to Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful and Amateur Radio Emergency Services."

Broadway Show
*Location:
Pioneer Center
100 S Virginia St, Reno, NV 89501
"The most Tony Award-winning Show of the year. The most Tony Award-nominated Play of all time. Stereophonic mines the agony and the ecstasy of creation as it zooms in on a music studio in 1976. Here, an up-and-coming rock band recording a new album finds itself suddenly on the cusp of superstardom. The ensuing pressures could spark their breakup — or their breakthrough. Written by David Adjmi, directed by Daniel Aukin, and featuring original music by Arcade Fire’s Will Butler, Stereophonic invites the audience to immerse themselves — with fly-on-the-wall intimacy — in the powder keg process of a band on the brink of blowing up.
Stereophonic is recommended for ages 13 and up. The play contains simulated drug use and adult topics. The run time is 3 hours, including a 15-minute intermission."

Visit a Farm
Visiting a farm in the fall is mandatory every year. I'm pretty sure many others will agree with me on this one. It's a tradition that just makes the whole season feel complete... sorta like how people put up trees during Christmas. The more farms you can visit, the better. Each one has it's own vibes, offerings, and atmosphere.
My Farm Criteria:
*Does the farm feel cozy and welcoming?
*Are there cute animals I can bother (and take way too many pictures of)?
*Is the farm just as obsessed as I am when it comes to offerings - souvenirs, seasonal goodies, & little surprises?
*Can it keep my demanding kids entertained without me losing my mind?
*Is there a spot where I can buy a bunch of things I don’t technically need but will 100% make me happy?
*A farm without baked goods is a major red flag. (I’m talking pies, donuts, breads, the works.)
*And of course, the grub. Sweet, savory, hearty, or festive…Please, take advantage of me.
*Bonus activities - live music, hayrides, a pumpkin patch, or anything that makes me feel like I’ve stepped straight into a Hallmark movie.

Fun Ghost Town & Shooting Gallery
in Virginia City
($5/person, 3 & under free)
Shoaf's ghost town is charming year round walk through located next to the Sawdust Trails store that my kids (5,7, & 9) have been enjoying for the past several years.
***Note: No live actors or jump scares, just cute spooky scenes to enjoy.
Shoaf's Ghost Town, Sawdust Trails, Virginia City Escape Room, and the kettle corn/ice cream spot are all conveniently placed right next to one another and are owned by the same owner, Brian, who's one super kind and nice guy. The details you'll find at these shops are magnificent. It's apparent that they were all made with love.
This is one of my favorite shooting galleries ever. Its charm is undeniable and you'll be pleasantly surprised to find that some of the objects have sound effects and even move when shot at.
Creepy & Spooky Displays at Spirit of Halloween and Home Depot
Spirit of Halloween has so many spooky interactive displays that me and my kids can't get enough of every year. The themed displays change every year, making every visit fresh and fun.
Home Depot has really been upping their game with Halloween animatronics these past few years. Talking witches brewing up a storm in their cauldron, zombie barbers, singing Jack Skellingtons, and the most horrifyingly realistic duo of all, Chucky & his bride, Tiffany... It's all good fun.

Virginia City is one of the best towns to celebrate Halloween. The setting lends itself perfectly to all sorts of spooky shenanigans, not to mention how ridiculously close it is to Reno, its Victorian vibes, and its reputation as one of the most haunted towns in the country. I have nothing but love for VC.

Ongoing Tours and Attractions
*Ghost Tours at Piper’s Opera House
Are you familiar with escape rooms? If not, allow me to introduce you to my latest obsession. I conquered my first escape room about four years ago and have been hooked ever since. There's truly nothing more exhilarating, exciting, empowering, entertaining, and cooler than escape rooms.
Escape rooms are immersive experiences where you and a group of friends, family, or even strangers get locked in a room to play a game. Your mission is to solve a series of puzzles and "escape" your way out.
Rooms vary by difficulty, but most grant you unlimited hints and truly want you to succeed, so tackling one shouldn't be intimidating.
Lucky for us, Reno has some amazing escape room options, and among them are a few that have become my all-time favorites, having experienced over 55 across San Diego, San Francisco, and Las Vegas. The rooms I’m highlighting in this guide are perfect for the Halloween season, featuring spooky and eerie themes.
All October long is Halloweekdays at Deadline! $5 off per player (of teams of 4 or more!) every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Deadline Escape Room's "Dead Silence" - Your mission in Dead Silence is to navigate your neighbor’s basement without making a sound, solving puzzles and uncovering clues before your captor returns. Silence is golden in this room, as speaking too loudly might trigger the lights to go out, so stay sharp, stay quiet, and escape in time.
Also at Deadline - "Freakshow". Your team is trapped inside a dilapidated circus tent, locked in cages and set to become the next gruesome attractions. Solve puzzles, navigate through vintage carnival games, and outwit the psychotic ringmaster to escape before you're transformed into the show’s newest "freaks."
For those seeking a less suspenseful and thrilling experience, "Witch Doctor" provides an excellent alternative, perfect for entertaining your fascination with the supernatural. Your mission: rescue the soul of a voodoo priestess ensnared in the spirit realm. The immersive Bayou atmosphere they've conjured in this room is simply enchanting and is an unforgettable experience that has left a lasting impression on me.
Keystone Escape Games provides an extraordinary experience with their room, "Blood of the Original," which played a significant role in kindling my passion for escape rooms. Your mission in Blood of the Original is to recover the stolen Blood of the Original Vampire before it falls into the wrong hands. Solve puzzles, uncover secrets, and navigate the dark, steampunk inspired lair to save your coven and secure your legacy.
For more of a magical and mystical themed room, "The Sorcerer & the Fountain of Hope" at Breakthrough Reno inside GSR is an amazing option. Your mission is to infiltrate the fallen castle of Azurio and restore the Fountain of Hope to prevent the Great Dragon from escaping and wreaking havoc upon the world. With the dragon's power growing by the minute, you must solve puzzles and navigate through the castle's defenses to save humanity from impending destruction.
Fall Foliage in & Around Reno
In Reno, the peak time to experience fall foliage typically occurs from mid to late October, with colors often reaching their most vibrant between October 15 and October 31.
Hope Valley
(1 hr away from Reno toward South Lake Tahoe. Drive another 26 mins. and you'll reach South Lake Tahoe.)
 |
| Visitors Admiring the Scenery |
People visit Hope Valley in the fall primarily to experience its stunning autumn colors. The valley is framed by majestic aspen groves and pine forests, which transform into a tapestry of gold, orange, and red each October. Also, visitors are drawn to the area for its peaceful, serene landscapes, crisp mountain air, and photography opportunities.
Hikers, nature lovers, and artists also flock to Hope Valley to explore its trails, rivers, and meadows, while families and travelers enjoy the scenic drives and cozy accommodations like cabins nestled among the trees. Its proximity to Reno, South Lake Tahoe, and Markleeville makes it favorable as a convenient escape for a day trip or a weekend getaway, offering both outdoor adventure and peaceful relaxation.
For fuel, stop by Hope Valley Cafe & Market, Sorensen's Cafe, or take a short 15-minute drive to the charming town of Markleeville from Wylder Resort. Both options offer tasty baked goods, delicious meals, refreshing drinks, and convenient snacks. While you’re there, don’t forget to ask about local trail recommendations to make the most of your outdoor adventure.
Mayberry Park
Enjoy a scenic stroll along the Truckee River, lined with tall golden cottonwood trees in the fall. This park is dog friendly and has a paved path, porta potty, two bridges, hiking trails, and leads to Dorostkar Park.
(Tours of Mansion - End of May - End of October)
 |
| Rentable Pavilion @ Bower's Mansion |
One of my favorite parks found on Mt. Rose Highway before hitting Galena Park. The park is in the forest with a creek running through, two play structures, a grass area, and short and long hiking trails nearby.
Truckee Riverwalk
The picturesque autumn foliage set against the waters of the Truckee River creates the perfect fall scene. There are plenty of dining options available along the riverbank. Parking is available at either Idlewild Park or Barbara Benette Park.
This gem is located in Verdi past Boomtown Casino. It has so much beauty, a fishing pond, and a short nature trail.

| The kids living it up with Gramps. |
Enjoy a handful of deciduous trees spread throughout the park's beautiful grounds.

I absolutely LOVE this house. Park the car, stroll up for a closer look, then grab a chair and some hot cocoa to enjoy the incredible Halloween projection show, professionally designed just for this home.
AMBUSH BACKYARD HAUNT
(Returning 2026)
*The Ambush House in Sparks on its own is enough to make any Halloween special. This attraction is a haunted walk through in the Ambush family's backyard and includes creepers & many different haunting scenes.
They also decorate the front of their house and go all out with huge props like ginormous skeletons, fake fire displaces, lights, & wicked witches that talk.
Feel free to bring some non perishables and drop them in the bins up front and/or donate via QR code up front.
