7,000+ HOURS. COUNTLESS ADVENTURES. ONE INCREDIBLE VOLUNTEER COMMUNITY.

The Tahoe Rim Trail doesn’t take care of itself.

This trail season, TRTA’s incredible Trail Operations volunteers dedicated more than 7,000 hours to caring for the trail we all love! From clearing downed trees and building drainage to repairing tread and installing trail kiosks, these dedicated volunteers put in the hard work that keeps the Tahoe Rim Trail in great shape and improves the experience for everyone who visits.

Every tree cleared, every drainage feature built, every section of tread repaired, and every kiosk installed makes a difference.

Whether you hike it, run it, or ride it, you’re experiencing the impact of their time, skill, and dedication.

Our world-class trail is powered by volunteer passion. And we couldn’t do it without them!

HELP US CELEBRATE OUR TRAIL HEROES!

Next time you hit the Tahoe Rim Trail, remember the volunteers who help make your adventure possible. Drop a 💚 in the comments and join us in saying THANK YOU to the incredible volunteers who give their time, energy, and heart to make every mile better for everyone!

TONIGHT IS THE DEADLINE TO SPEAK UP FOR ROADLESS AREAS.

The places we love to hike, explore, and protect are at risk.

The USDA has proposed rescinding the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule, which currently protects 44.7 million acres of National Forest lands from road construction and timber harvesting.

Here at home, the stakes are real:

More than 20 miles of the Tahoe Rim Trail run directly through Roadless Areas.

Another 30 miles border these protected lands and could be affected indirectly.

These wild places provide critical wildlife habitat, exceptional recreation opportunities, and the remote backcountry experience that makes the Tahoe Rim Trail so special.

Removing these protections could open the door to roads, development, and other impacts in some of our last remaining intact wildlands.

Your voice matters. And there’s still time to use it.

The public comment period closes TONIGHT, October 6, 2026, at 11:59 PM.

Protect the wild. Protect the trail. Speak up tonight.

The US Forest Service has notified us that they have lifted the closure impacting the section of the TRT from the Barker Pass Trailhead to the TRT/PCT Twin Peaks junction. Trail users are now able to move freely through this section of trail.

🚨 TRAIL CLOSURE UPDATE: TALBOT FIRE 🚨

The Tahoe National Forest has issued a closure order in response to the Talbot Fire, impacting a portion of the Tahoe Rim Trail on the west side of the lake.

What is closed:
🔥 The Tahoe Rim Trail is CLOSED from Barker Pass Trailhead north to the TRT/PCT junction near Twin Peaks, which is approximately 5 miles.

This entire stretch is shared by the Tahoe Rim Trail and Pacific Crest Trail and is included in the Forest Service closure.

At the junction near Twin Peaks, the two trails separate. The TRT turns east toward Ward Canyon, Page Meadow and Tahoe City. That portion of the TRT is not included in the current Talbot Fire closure order.

⚠️ The Pacific Crest Trail remains CLOSED north of the TRT/PCT junction, continuing through the affected area to the PCT trailhead on Placer County 9001 Road.

For TRT users, this means:
➡️ Barker Pass → TRT/PCT Junction near Twin Peaks: CLOSED
➡️ Ward Canyon → Page Meadows → Tahoe City: Not closed by this order

Please do not enter closed areas or attempt to travel around closure barriers. These restrictions are in place for public and firefighter safety as crews continue responding to the Talbot Fire.

Conditions can change quickly. Please check current closure and trail information before heading out.
