July 27, 8 am- Tahoe Rim Trail, North from Spooner Summit to the saddle of Snow Valley Peak. This is a beautiful hike with some spectacular views of Lake Tahoe and the surrounding area.
What: This is a 12-mile round-trip hike to Snow Valley Peak saddle on the Tahoe Rim Trail. The hike will be mainly uphill to the peak with an average gain of 300 feet/mile for a total of 1800 feet, and then downhill coming back. Within the first 3 miles of the trail there are stunning views of Carson Valley, Eagle Valley, and Lake Tahoe. More amazing views occur at the saddle of Snow Valley Peak where we can see two lakes at once: Marlette and Tahoe.
Who: This is a strenuous hike for experienced, fit hikers
Required: We require at least 2 quarts of water, sturdy hiking shoes, and snacks.
Duration: Please plan on a minimum of 7 hours for the hike once we have arrived at the trailhead. This includes time for photos and breaks.
Dogs are not allowed on this hike.
Recommended: Hats, hiking poles, and sunscreen are highly recommended.
Meet at the Hwy 50 Park-and-ride, west of Hwy 395, at 7:30am so we can carpool to the parking area before it fills up for the day.
We will cancel if it rains or is too smokey on the morning of the hike. Contact Jo or Larry if you have any questions:
