Description
As part of the Tahoe Summer Exploration Series, the Tahoe Institute for Natural Science (TINS) and the Tahoe Rim Trail Association (TRTA) have partnered to provide summer excursions on a variety of nature-based topics.
Did you know Lake Tahoe’s maximum depth is 1,645 feet and is the fifth deepest lake in the world? Have you ever looked over the lake to the peaks and wondered which one is which? What if you had someone standing next to you that could explain what you were looking at from different types of flowers to peak names to how Tahoe’s hydrology works and stays so so blue? Let us put the earth and colors into perspective and join us on a guided tour of Tahoe’s intricacies with TINS naturalist, Sarah Hockensmith, and TRTA guide, Jennifer Coon
This ~four-mile, moderately easy, out-and-back trek is family-friendly and appropriate for ages 12 and up.
What to Expect
TRTA/TINS treks are group treks, and we do our best to keep the group together. All trek 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.
