The Tahoe Rim Trail Association will be offering its Thru-Hike Program, Taste of the TRT and Youth Backcountry Camps this summer. All of the programs will fill up fast.

The Thru-Hike Program is a guided hike on the Tahoe Rim Trail and includes water drops, resupplies, meals and more. Registration opens March 3 at 10 a.m.

The Youth Backcountry Camp program also returns this summer with pandemic protocols and an improved naturalist-themed curriculum with four camps offered. These four-day backpacking trips, led by instructors from the Tahoe Rim Trail Association and the Tahoe Institute for Natural Science, promote kids’ connection with the natural world through learning, observing and identifying the beauty that makes up the Tahoe back country. Registration will open on March 10 at 10 a.m. Partial and full scholarships are available.

The Taste of the TRT breaks up tackling the trail into 4- and 5-day guided backpacking trips that tackle a quarter of the trail at a time. The programs offer backpackers a supported, guided experience on the Tahoe Rim Trail. Registration opens March 17. | tahoerimtrail.org
