Tahoe Rim Trail Association

The Tahoe Rim Trail Association (TRTA) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that is the primary steward for the 165+ mile Tahoe Rim Trail and, in partnership with the USFS and NV State Parks built and maintains this valuable public resource in the Lake Tahoe Basin. As the primary steward of the trail, the TRTA meets its mission through a robust volunteer program and offers on-trail programs and trainings for youth and guided adventures. The trail exists because of the dreams and dedicated efforts of thousands of volunteers who spent over 200,000 hours during the span of 17 years completing the 165-mile loop. The twenty-four inch, single-track trail is open to hiking, equestrians, and mountain biking (in most areas). The trail encompasses the ridge tops of the Lake Tahoe Basin, crossing six counties, and two states. The Tahoe Rim Trail overlaps with approximately fifty miles of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail.
