Tahoe Rim Trail – Big Meadow to Round Lake

Jeff Moser | August 14, 2009

One of the things I’d like to do before I die is to explore the entire length of the Tahoe Rim Trail. The entire trail is 165 miles long, so it will probably take me a few years. Thankfully, there are many sections open to mountain biking.
