The sun is out, the snow has melted, and now is the time to get out and enjoy summer on your National Forest lands! The USDA Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit along with our partners at Heavenly Mountain Resort, invite the public to Hike with a Ranger beginning Friday, July 26.
Hikes take place every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. at the top of the Heavenly Gondola. The guided hikes last approximately one hour and will continue every weekend through Sept. 29, weather permitting.
Hikes are moderate in terms of difficulty, closed-toe shoes and water are required for attendance, along with a ticket to ride the gondola. Remember to bring your sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses! No reservations are required. Attendance is on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants should meet the rangers at the top of the gondola.
This Conservation Education program aims to provide an enjoyable opportunity to learn more about the Lake Tahoe Basin and its environment. Rangers cover a variety of natural history topics, which help promote a deeper understanding of our natural resources while increasing environmental literacy and developing land stewardship ethics. Programs are led by LTBMU rangers and Heavenly’s own Eco Rangers.
This program is made possible through the LTBMU’s invaluable partnership in outdoor recreation with Heavenly Mountain Resort.
