Celebrate the start of Lake Tahoe’s trail season by volunteering to build trails, or participate in a family fun hike on June 5 starting at 9am.

The Tahoe Rim Trail Association event will begin at Van Sickle Bi-State Park off Lake Parkway in Stateline.

To participate, register at www.tahoerimtrail.org or contact Amanda at (775) 298.0239 or trails@tahoerimtrail.org.

The day will start with a morning celebration where the TRTA’s 1,000th member of the 165 mile club will be honored. Then trail building begins.

Volunteers of all skill levels, physical abilities, and ages are welcome. No experience is necessary. All volunteers will receive a free lunch sponsored by REI. After an afternoon of trail building, there will be a volunteer party hosted by Explore Tahoe, at the urban trailhead in South Lake Tahoe.

Bring the family for a fun hike at Kahle Park from 10am-noon for kids from ages 6-12.

This is the second trail building season of a multi-year project which will ultimately connect the Tahoe Rim Trail with the Van Sickle State Park, re-route the TRT off of paved roads, and provide stunning views of Lake Tahoe to more people.
