Opening of Monument Peak Trail to be celebrated

The Tahoe Area Biking Association (TAMBA) and the U.S. Forest Service are inviting the public to join them as they celebrate the grand opening of the Monument Pass Trail near South Lake Tahoe.

On October 12, bikers will start off at the Bijou Community Park on Al Tahoe Blvd. at 9 a.m. Join the USFS Trail Crews on the 25 mile ride which will include 3500 feet of climbing (and decent).

The ride will go up Al Tahoe Blvd across Pioneer Trail to the Cold Creek Trail, up to Star Lake and Monument Peak, and back down.

USFS employees and TAMBA reps will be along on the ride which will be followed up with a BBQ and post ride celebration.

If you think you’ll attend, the USFS would like an RSVP, so they can make sure get everything you need. Contact Cheva at chevalgabor@fs.fed.us.
