What We Do
The Mission of the Tahoe Rim Trail Association is to maintain and enhance the Tahoe Rim Trail system, practice and inspire stewardship, and preserve access to the natural beauty of the Lake Tahoe region.
Hiking on the Tahoe Rim Trail
Whether tackling the Tahoe Rim Trail as a 165 mile thru hike or enjoying a leisurely day hike, the amazing vistas, high alpine lakes, meadows and peaks always make for a rewarding experience.
Hit the trail on a guided hike or head out on your own day hike or backpacking trip.
Discover a World-Class Mountain Biking Destination
The Tahoe Rim Trail is an incredibly scenic and diverse mountain bike trail system. Grueling climbs, mellow non-technical trails, and hair-raising downhills can all be found on the Tahoe Rim Trail.
Before heading out, make sure to check out local regulations as some portions of the trail, such as designated wilderness areas, aren’t open to bikes.
Experiencing the Tahoe Rim Trail on Horseback
The Tahoe Rim Trail is home to unforgettable memories for equestrians. Some segments present significant challenges so it’s highly recommended that all riders and their livestock have adequate trail experience.
