Autumn Exploration Series with TINS: Changes at Page Meadows

October 21, 2025 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm


Cost: Free

Description

Join the Tahoe Rim Trail Association (TRTA) guides and nonprofit partner Tahoe Institute for Natural Science (TINS) for a scenic October hike to Page Meadows, one of Tahoe City’s most stunning locations to witness the magic of fall. As the seasons change, so does the landscape and the wildlife that call it home.

Together, we’ll search for signs of animals preparing for winter: caching food, migrating south, or bulking up for hibernation. Along the way, we’ll be immersed in the golden glow of Quaking Aspens as their leaves turn from green to brilliant shades of orange and yellow. Keep your eyes open as we may even spot bear scratches on tree trunks or other subtle clues of wildlife activity.

This hike is perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone curious about the rhythms of the natural world as it shifts into autumn.

What to Expect

TRTA/TINS treks are group treks, and we do our best to keep the group together. All TRTA guides and TINS staff dedicate a great deal of their time throughout the year sharing their passion for the outdoors. They are well-trained and experienced. Please respect the decisions made on the trail.

It is also critical that you sign up for a trek that is appropriate for you and your skill set. This request is for the safety of you, the group, and our leadership. Read the trek description carefully, and sign up for treks that you are capable of participating in and can enjoy.
