Valentine’s Day Snowshoe Trek

February 14, 2022 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm


Cost: Free

Guided Snowshoe Treks in Lake Tahoe on the Tahoe Rim Trail

Details

 

Description

Calling all TRTA members! This short and scenic snowshoe trek will take you to viewpoints south/west of Tahoe Meadows and along the Tahoe Basin ridgeline. Don’t forget your camera! There will be plenty of great photo opportunities to capture Lake Tahoe’s west and north shores and the distant mountains of Twin Peaks and Barker Pass at the top during sunset. Then your Sherpas, we mean Guides, will bust out the goodies (hint hint- wine, cheese, crackers, grapes…) before ending a memorable Valentine’s Day back at the trailhead. Why? Why wouldn’t we take this opportunity to spoil a handful of our members??

 

What to Expect

TRTA outings are group treks, and we do our best to keep the group together. Trip leaders dedicate a great deal of their time throughout the year sharing their passion for the outdoors. They are well-trained and experienced. Please respect their decisions made on the trail. This is a TRTA member-only Trek.

All participants must be current TRTA members and registered. If you are not a member, click here and become one now.
