The Tahoe Rim Trail: Itโ€™s 165 miles of primo single-track circling Lake Tahoe via two mountain ranges, three wilderness areas and two states. Mile after mile of jaw dropping vistas of Lake Tahoe, quiet strolls through deep forest, and glacier carved lakes at the base of high granite peaks. In July, youโ€™ll find spectacular wildflower gardens at Meiss Meadows; August is time for a refreshing swim in Dickโ€™s Lake; and in the fall, yellow aspen leaves light up Snow Valley.

Rubber Room: Born Again Rock Stars

Posted by | Jul 1, 2009 | |

Surrounded by all these beaches, trails, rivers, and crags, the diversity of natural amenities makes it easy to do it all, if even in a single sunny day. Care to kayak then pedal singletrack?

Greg Speicher watches as C-1 paddler Norwood Scott runs a rapid in Devilโ€™s Canyon. We are dragging Tecate. There is so much beer in the raft โ€“ as well as a cooler of frozen red meat and bacon โ€“ on our first day on the Middle Fork of the Feather River that the back end keeps hanging up on shallow rapid entrances.

Ty Fairbairn pulls up into a Donner Summit sunset. Sometimes all it takes for progression is good vision. In the summer of 2006, Truckee rock climbers Ty Fairbairn, Dustin Sabo, Brian Sweeney and Scott Thelen opened their eyes to the obvious while driving along Interstate 80 and discovered one of the best new Tahoe rock climbing developments in recent years โ€“ the Castle Peak boulders.
