Northstar is a four-season Tahoe-area resort offering skiing and riding in winter, and hiking, golf and mountain biking in summer.
For DogTrekkers, the base-area Village at Northstar offers many options in patio dining and places to sit and watch the world go by. In summer, hikers with dogs can pay a nominal fee to ride the Big Springs Gondola and Zephyr Express lifts up the mountain, where many hiking opportunities await.
Dog-friendly lodging is available at the Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe at mid-mountain and at many vacation homes and hotels in the vicinity.
Keeping our trails beautiful and dog-friendly is crucial to ensure everyone enjoys the great outdoors. Some people want to ban dogs from public spaces, but we believe dogs are essential members of our community. They bring joy, companionship, and energy to our hikes. To keep our trails open to our furry friends, we must be responsible. Pick up after your dog, keep them on a leash where required, and respect other trail users. By doing our part, we can ensure that our beloved pups remain welcome on all trails, allowing your pack to continue exploring and enjoying nature together.
