Free Olympic Heritage Trail Day at Sugar Pine Park

TAHOMA, Calif. - You don't have to be an Olympian to explore the self-guided trails of the Olympic Heritage trails at Sugar Pine Point State Park. Sierra State Parks Foundation, the local nonprofit park partner, is hosting a free park day in honor of the 60th anniversary of the 1960 Winter Olympics, which took place in Squaw Valley and the West Shore of Lake Tahoe.

This is a great opportunity to explore the Olympic Heritage trails and interpretive displays while learning about the cultural and natural history of the Lake Tahoe Basin.

This free park day will be held on February 22, 2020, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Sugar Pine Point State Park. The Olympian Trail is on the campground side, not the lake side. The Sierra State Parks Foundation will be providing 50 free parking passes on a first-come, first-serve basis redeemable only on the Free Olympian Trail Day. These tickets are available at www.SierraStateParks.org.
