Alumni Reunion Tour – Relay Peak

Description

We are getting the band back together! As part of our inaugural Alumni Reunion Series, the Tahoe Rim Trail Association (TRTA) calls all past TRTA guided Thru Hike, Segment Hike, and Taste of the TRT alumni to get back on the trail! We will be scaling the 10,338 ft. of Relay Peak for breathtaking views of Tahoe and Reno. Join your favorite guides and old friends as you explore the newly thawed-out season.

This ~9.5 mile, out-and-back hike will launch out of Mt. Rose Summit Trail Head.
