Tahoe Rim Trail Association events

Snowshoeing season is almost over but the trail hasn’t melted out enough yet for hiking. What should you do? Beat the shoulder-season blues with the Tahoe Rim Trail Association’s 2nd Annual April Speaker Series.

Find out about new backpacking and hiking gear, learn about the Tahoe Basin’s geology and get the inside scoop on hiking the trail from start to finish in these three presentations.

April 12: “Latest and Greatest in Gear” by Dave Hess from REI. Hess will bring new backpacking and hiking gear to do a show and tell of what to get and give this year.

April 19: “Geology of the Lake Tahoe Basin” by Mark Vollmer. Vollmer is a free-lance photographer and writer and will give a presentation of the geology of the basin as seen from the Tahoe Rim Trail.

April 26: “Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Hiking and Backpacking the Tahoe Rim Trail” by Mark Kimbrough and Tim Hauserman. These two will team up to divulge the secrets of the trail from where to get water to the best wildflowers and the easiest way to shuttle for day hikes.

All presentations are at the DWR Non-Profit Center from 6-7pm at 948 Incline Way, Incline Village.
