Truckee is fast becoming a popular travel destination, but after Sunset Magazine dubbed Truckee one of the top 10 dream towns in its August 2008 issue, the mountain community may see some population growth.
 
This validates everything we who live here already know – that this is a dream town.
 
Ranked among other U.S. towns such as San Luis Obispo, Ca., Crested Buttes, Colo. and Prescott Az., Truckee was commended for, It’s tight-knit, outdoor community, with good restaurants and year-round recreational fun.  This, according to Sunset Magazine.
 
This isn’t the first time Truckee has gained national attention from the media as an ideal place to settle in the High Sierras.  In 2006 Outside Magazine named Truckee the “Best Outdoor Town” thanks to the surrounding vertical terrain and low-key atmosphere.
 
With Tahoe Forest Hospital expanding, Truckee, with its ten or more ski resorts, winds up being, one of the best places in the world to break a bone.  Since the town is devoted to outdoor activities and the followers of these activities, there is always someone hobbling into the Bar of America with a brand new cast.  Sympathy?  Only to the extent of buying the injured party a Sierra Nevada and listening to music.
