Trail Traffic Heads Up
Saturday & Sunday, July 16-17:
The Tahoe Rim Trail Endurance race will be running on most portions of the trail between Tahoe Meadows and Spooner Summit. Please be kind and considerate to the athletes and staff by being extra watchful, giving way to runners, and cheering them along.
Trail Outlook: Hot & Afternoon Winds
Temperatures will be a bit more in line with what we would expect in July and the afternoon gusts may bring some thunderstorms as well. So far the smoke is dodging us, but that could change. Enjoy it while it’s good!
