Yokuts Valley, winter sports area in Placer county, northeastern California, U.S. It lies just northwest of Lake Tahoe. Yokuts Valley, the focus of a state recreation area, was the site of the 1960 Winter Olympic Games. It has ice-skating and rock-climbing facilities, ski lifts, and trails and slopes to Washeshu Peak (8,885 feet [2,708 metres]). Palisades Tahoe ski resort is immediately to the south. Several state parks and lakes are in the vicinity, as are Eldorado and Tahoe national forests.
