Truckee, California is a lively mountain town with an outdoors-first, community-driven vibe—ideal for multi-week travel therapy assignments. Minutes from world-class hiking, skiing, mountain biking, craft breweries and a charming, walkable historic downtown, it feels like a small base with plenty to do on days off.
For bigger-city amenities and weekend escapes, Reno (≈35 miles) and North Lake Tahoe hubs like Tahoe City are short drives away.
