LAKE TAHOE –– Those with a love of hiking can make 2010 a year to finish the trail and become a member of the 165-Mile Club. Hike the trail in seven guided day-hikes and a backpack trip or nine guided day hikes.  Meet like-minded people, make lifelong friends, lasting memories and enjoy all the natural splendor of the Tahoe Rim Trail.

The Tahoe Rim Trail Association will be offering 165-Mile Segment Hiking Program and a Five Weekends Hiking Program for the summer of 2010.  All hikes are guided by fully trained and competent volunteer guides and the hiking group will be composed of the same people every week. 

The 165-Mile Segment Hiking Program allows participants to complete the trail in eight or nine weeks with one hike each week.  The Five Weekends Hiking Program, new this year, will allow participants to complete the trail in just five weeks with a combination of day hikes and overnight trips.

Sign up now for your Segment Hike experience in 2010.  The hikes start on either June 18 or June 19 and finish with the backpack on Aug. 13-15 or the last day hike on Aug. 21.  The Five Weekends Hiking Program will start July 17 and end Aug. 15.
