Join the Tahoe Rim Trail Association for volunteer trail building workdays on the Daggett Summit Trail System Project.

Workdays are Tuesdays and Saturdays 9am to 4pm from now until mid-October.

Learn new skills, meet likeminded trail enthusiasts, and give back to your community by joining a volunteer trail crew! Volunteers of all skill levels and ages are welcome—no prior experience necessary. Groups are welcome to participate.

To join a volunteer work crew, register online at www.tahoerimtrail.org or contact Amanda at (775) 298.0239 trails@tahoerimtrail.org. Register so we will have tools and crew leaders.

This is the second trail building season of the multi-year Daggett Summit project, which will connect the Tahoe Rim Trail (TRT) with the Van Sickle State Park, re-route the TRT off of paved roads, and provide stunning views of Lake Tahoe to more people. Last year we built 3.8 miles of new trail; however we still have more than 9 miles to go.

Volunteers should bring their own lunch, water, sunscreen, bug spray, and backpack. Volunteers must wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, boots, & work gloves. The Tahoe Rim Trail Association will provide hard hats, trail building tools and expert crew leaders.
