Got the sea-level blues? We recommend a high-altitude cure at the seventh annual Squaw Valley Summer Festival, a two-day fete featuring the cornerstones of any public celebration: art, wine and music. Drive up early on Saturday to acclimate to the lively atmosphere (local folk-rock star Emily Tessmer is rumored to appear on the music stage) and sample wines from the likes of Grgich Hills Estate and Mokelumme Glen Vineyards for a $25 donation fee benefiting the Tahoe Forest Hospital and the Tahoe Adaptive Ski School.
