OVERVIEW

Northern California is known as the birthplace of mountain biking, and Tahoe is its most famous destination. The 165-mile Tahoe Rim Trail (TRT) circumnavigates the sparkling blue lake along the spine of the Sierra and Carson Ranges, and serves as the backbone of Tahoe’s intricate trail skeleton. Over its course, numerous other trails and roads intersect the TRT, creating endless options for loops of various lengths, point-to-point rides, and all-day epics.
