What We Do
The Mission of the Tahoe Rim Trail Association is to maintain and enhance the Tahoe Rim Trail system, practice and inspire stewardship, and preserve access to the natural beauty of the Lake Tahoe region.
Hiking on the Tahoe Rim Trail
Whether tackling the Tahoe Rim Trail as a 165 mile thru hike or enjoying a leisurely day hike, the amazing vistas, high alpine lakes, meadows and peaks always make for a rewarding experience.
Hit the trail on a guided hike or head out on your own day hike or backpacking trip.
Discover a World-Class Mountain Biking Destination
The Tahoe Rim Trail is an incredibly scenic and diverse mountain bike trail system. Grueling climbs, mellow non-technical trails, and hair-raising downhills can all be found on the Tahoe Rim Trail.
Before heading out, make sure to check out local regulations as some portions of the trail, such as designated wilderness areas, aren’t open to bikes.
Experiencing the Tahoe Rim Trail on Horseback
The Tahoe Rim Trail is home to unforgettable memories for equestrians. Some segments present significant challenges so it’s highly recommended that all riders and their livestock have adequate trail experience.

![⚠️ Federal Layoffs Threaten Our Public Lands — Let’s Step Up for the Tahoe Rim Trail ⚠️
Recent cuts to funding and layoffs of National Park and Forest Service employees are putting our public lands at risk — including the Tahoe Rim Trail. Fewer staff means fewer resources to help maintain trails, manage wildfire prevention efforts, and protect the delicate ecosystems that make the Tahoe Rim Trail so special.
These cuts don’t just impact the trail today — they jeopardize its future. Without critical maintenance and oversight, everything from trail safety to wildfire response is compromised, leaving our forests, wildlife, and trail users more vulnerable than ever.
But there’s still hope — and it starts with us.
Here’s how you can help:
⛏️ Volunteer – Join a TRTA trail crew to help with maintenance and restoration efforts.
🌲 Donate – Your contributions to the TRTA directly support trail upkeep, and conservation projects. [LINK IN BIO]
📢 Speak Up – Contact your elected representatives and demand they prioritize funding for our national parks, forests, and public lands.
The Tahoe Rim Trail belongs to all of us. Let’s protect it for future generations by being responsible stewards and following Leave No Trace principles every time we explore these incredible landscapes.
Together, we can ensure that the Tahoe Rim Trail remains wild, beautiful, and accessible — no matter the challenges ahead.](https://scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t39.30808-6/480962399_1066028045557750_4222106660992026648_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=Tnpt6QeLE60Q7kNvgEIuus6&_nc_oc=Admv1578oQZS6R2I86-57baGclRTroxq5n6GV1shB2o5yIXU4eYaSInHYRXpI8Tom58&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&_nc_gid=ADdJNaroItIk7LSvIKLEfg&oh=00_AYGn9ELoW1JLXM2bvrHP54cAjzP5ESz1uiInh1Qy4xK_ng&oe=67F18487)
