Tahoe Rim Trail

About Us

The Tahoe Rim Trail is a beautiful 165 mile single track, multi-use trail winding high above Lake Tahoe. Difficulty varies depending on the leg of the trail you take. There are breathtaking views from different vantage points of Lake Tahoe and because of the elevation, wildflowers continue well into the summer.
