Join our team of dedicated Crew Leaders and help shape the future of our trails!
Tahoe Rim Trail Crew Leaders
Each season, Tahoe Rim Trail Crew Leaders plan and lead trail construction, maintenance, and management projects. They oversee safety briefings, technical work, and volunteer teams, taking on more responsibility as they gain experience. New Crew Leaders train under veterans, while Senior Crew Leaders design projects and manage larger groups. Master Trail Builders lead major initiatives, collaborating with agencies to create new trail connections. All Crew Leaders can join the Trail Operations Committee, which guides project selection, training, and trail management.
