These trainings, led by Max Jones, TRTA trail operations chairperson, are a great way to hone skills in particular technique of trail work. Program coordinator Sara Holm, of the Tahoe Rim Trail Association, will provide information about the 150-mile loop trail, organization, and its trail maintenance programs. The first Junior Trail Steward Workshop will be held Saturday, July 7. The morning indoor session will take place at the Zephyr Cove library and the afternoon will be spent in the field. This workshop is geared toward kids, ages 11 to 15, who want to learn more about the Tahoe Rim Trail and how they can become involved in helping to build and preserve the trail.
Space is limited.
Hikers can be first on trail As part of its 150-mile celebration, the Tahoe Rim Trail Association is offering novice and experienced backpackers an opportunity to be some of the first to hike the entire Tahoe Rim Trail, which will officially open this fall after 20 years of work. The group, limited to 12 individuals, will begin their trek Sept. 8 at the Brockway Trailhead and will hike up to 12 miles per day for 15 consecutive days. Event contributions and sponsorships qualify for tax deduction. The hike is open to hikers, equestrians and in most areas, mountain bikers. Celebration to open Tahoe Rim Trail After 20 years of work, the Tahoe Rim Trail, a 150-mile loop trail that runs along the ridges and the mountain tops circling Lake Tahoe, will officially open in September.
