July 21, 2018 - 7:30am Have you ever been curious as to what Mt. Lassen looks like from Lake Tahoe? The Tahoe Rim Trail Association (TRTA) is calling all baggers to join them in a challenging guided day hike over two beautiful summits on the Tahoe Rim Trail system, Relay Peak (10,342’) and Mt. Houghton (10,494’) to catch that view.
Throughout the 12-mile loop, expect to see expansive views of Lake Tahoe and as far north as Lassen on a good day, plenty of wildflowers, and they’ll even throw in a waterfall in.

On Tuesday, October 14, the Tahoe Rim Trail Association (TRTA) will celebrate the completion of a new trail to the summit of Mt. Houghton from the Rim Trail at Relay Ridge. Volunteers built .7 miles of trail from Mt. Rose to the Thomas Creek Trailhead which increases recreational access in the Mt. Rose area.

What began as a dream in 1977 is now a 165-mile trail around Lake Tahoe for hikers, equestrians and mountain bikers. Retired U.S. Forest Service officer Glen Hampton researched and explored places along the perimeter for the trail to go. He nvestigated aged pathways used by early pioneers, Basque Shepherds, and the Washoe People. The Tahoe Rim Trail Association (TRTA)was founded in 1981 and construction on the trail began three years later.
