Reno to Tahoe Transit- Public Input

The Regional Transportation District (RTC) is asking for the community’s input on a proposed new pilot transit route from south Reno to Lake Tahoe. The new route would start this May and would use RTC’s FlexRIDE service vehicles. Take the survey today!

What We Do

The Mission of the Tahoe Rim Trail Association is to maintain and enhance the Tahoe Rim Trail system, practice and inspire stewardship, and preserve access to the natural beauty of the Lake Tahoe region.

Hiking on the Tahoe Rim Trail

Whether tackling the Tahoe Rim Trail as a 165 mile thru hike or enjoying a leisurely day hike, the amazing vistas, high alpine lakes, meadows and peaks always make for a rewarding experience.

Hit the trail on a guided hike or head out on your own day hike or backpacking trip.

 

Discover a  World-Class Mountain Biking Destination

The Tahoe Rim Trail is an incredibly scenic and diverse mountain bike trail system. Grueling climbs, mellow non-technical trails, and hair-raising downhills can all be found on the Tahoe Rim Trail.

Before heading out, make sure to check out local regulations as some portions of the trail, such as designated wilderness areas, aren’t open to bikes.

Experiencing the Tahoe Rim Trail on Horseback

The Tahoe Rim Trail is home to unforgettable memories for equestrians. Some segments present significant challenges so it’s highly recommended that all riders and their livestock have adequate trail experience.
