The Tahoe Rim Trail Association’s annual backcountry camps at the Marlette Peak Campground are Aug. 1-3 and Aug. 16-17.

At this year’s camp the TRTA aims to reconstruct the Marlette Peak Trail so it can be opened back up to equestrians and mountain bikers.

Participants will camp out, work, be fed and get to experience a camp camaraderie.  The TRTA is seeking volunteers to assist with trail work including widening tread, clearing brush, and building rock retaining walls. In addition, the camps need kitchen volunteers to help the camp chef’s prepare hearty meals.
