When is the best time for a budget trip to Alta?

Take in the local culture at Center For The Arts and Colfax Area Heritage Museum, or visit other spots like Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum.
How can I get to Alta and get around on a budget?
Looking at these ways to get around Alta is a smart way to keep your trip affordable. The closest airport is Truckee, CA (TKF-Truckee Tahoe), situated 36.4 mi (58.7 km) away. If that doesn't suit your budget, you can arrange flights in and out of Sacramento, CA (SMF-Sacramento Intl.), which is 54.9 mi (88.3 km) away. Alta may not have many public transport choices so renting a car could be a reasonable alternative to see more of the area.
