Weekend Outlook 6/16-6/19, 2022

Tahoe Trail Event Heads Up

• The Tahoe Trail 200 will be ongoing Friday (June 17) through Monday (June 20) along trails circling the lake. If you see flagging or other items that look like they could be course markings, please leave them be. Same with the racers. Cheer them on, but otherwise please let them through. They are punishing themselves enough. No need to make it any harder.

Trail Outlook

We have wind and cooling temperatures coming in this weekend. Winds are expected mostly in the afternoons and decreasing into Saturday and Sunday. Temps will fall after Thursday and stay in a very nice mid 60s f for highs on the weekend. Trails are dry and even the high elevation snow is mostly retreated. Lots of events and activities this weekend as well. Overall another great weekend to be out and active.

If you get out, let us know what you saw by submitting a trail report.

Be kind, be safe, and enjoy.

Top to bottom dry.
