Sweetheart Snowshoe with Nevada Nordic

Description

Celebrate Valentine’s Day this year with Nevada Nordic and the Tahoe Rim Trail Association (TRTA). Bring your sweetheart and enjoy a morning snowshoe trek in Tahoe Meadows. This adventure will be a leisurely snowshoe however, it could be more challenging if snow levels are deep. We are so excited to partner with Nevada Nordic! Nevada Nordic is a donation-based organization that maintains trails in the Mt. Rose area. These trails are free to use and open to cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and fat biking!

What to Expect

TRTA treks 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.
