The TRTA Segment Hike program provides the quintessential Tahoe experience.<\/h4>\n
Lake Tahoe is a jewel rich with views from the lakeshore to mountain tops. Along its mountain tops lies the 165-mile Tahoe Rim Trail often gazing down on the depths of the crystal blue water below. Join the Tahoe Rim Trail Association (TRTA) for the Segment Hike program to fully explore miles of trail bliss. This shuttled and guided program breaks the official 165+ TRT into segments allowing participants to complete the entire trail in one season through vigorous day hikes. From a pre-trip preparations to shuttling you before the sunrise, the TRTA provides the tools to finish the trail and join the highly coveted 165 Mile Club. This adventure offers an experience of a lifetime, the opportunity to meet new hiking friends, disconnect from everyday life, and fully immerse yourself in the breathtaking splendor of the Northern Sierra Nevada and Carson Mountain Ranges.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am still so amazed at the beauty of the terrain that we were exposed to. I loved the high country and still my heart races when I think of the smells (dirt), the sunshine, the camaraderie and the extreme beauty of the terrain we hiked. I still look at my pics and say, \u201cWow, I really did that!\u201d<\/em> – Past TRTA Participant<\/p>\n
