Running High Above Lake Tahoe!
The 165 mile Tahoe Rim Trail circles one of the most beautiful lakes in the world - Lake Tahoe. It winds through Aspen meadows, skirts high mountain peaks and runs for miles along ridgetops with stunning views. On this Tahoe Rim tour we explore the eminently beautiful Northeast and East side of the trail with tremendous panoramic views, Mt. Rose, Marlette Lake, and spectacular boulders and rock outcroppings. Some of the most stunning views from the Tahoe Rim trail can be found on this section, including the Flume Trail, which may be one of the more spectacular segments of trail anywhere. We'll stay in comfortable summer homes and condominiums along the way with shuttle transport to and from the trailhead each day. The trail is well developed and very runnable in most sections. In fact, much of the segment of the Tahoe Rim Trail we run, is some of the most fun trail running you'll experience anywhere! You won't soon forget the beautiful blue lake you'll run high above on this tour
Over the course of 5 days, we'll run from Mt. Rose Trailhead to South Lake Tahoe, covering the entire East side of the lake while also including the spectacular Flume Trail on one of the days. The Flume Trail is probably our favorite relatively short segment of trail to run, in the WORLD! Seriously. A more detailed daily itinerary with much more information will be emailed to you closer to the tour date.
