Virtual Lake Tahoe Highlight
Tahoe Rim Trail
The Tahoe Rim Trail is one of the world's premier trails and is said to be a 165 mile loop trail that travels around Lake Tahoe along the crest of the mountains. In reality, it is longer and for thru-hikers, you must include road sections.
It is a trail that offers something for everyone. Hiking, horseback riding and skiing are allowed on all portions of the trail. Mountain biking is allowed on the trail with the exception of the wilderness areas, the section that is in Lake Tahoe, Nevada State Park and the part that is in conjunction with the Pacific Crest Trail.
The Tahoe Rim Trail is a backcountry, non-motorized scenic trail and is marked with triangular light blue trail markers with the words "Tahoe Rim Trail" stamped on them. The markers are spaced periodically along the trail as confidence markers and at major trail junctions and road crossings. It is typical to travel several miles between markers. The signs do not always last through each season, so always be prepared with a map and compass.
You can choose to do this trail in sections or as a through hike. Either way, it is beautiful with wonderful views to enjoy!
