Map of the Tahoe Rim Trail near Lake Tahoe, California/Nevada

map-using-trail-master

This is a map of the Tahoe Rim Trail, which circumnavigates Lake Tahoe in California and Nevada.  I obtained this image from TRTA maps, which can be found on the Tahoe Rim Trail Association's website at the URL: http://tahoerimtrail.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=79&Itemid=119.  The trail itself is 165 miles and serves as a venue for numerous outdoor activities, ranging from hiking and backpacking to horseback riding and mountain biking. This map very generally shows how to access the Tahoe Rim Trail, as it only shows the trail's location in relation to the surrounding freeways and Lake Tahoe itself. This map also shows how the trail is divided into 9 different segments, all of which combined form the 165 mile loop. Since this map is the main image on the Tahoe Rim Trail Association's website, I find it odd that they chose to go with this map, rather than one with topographic or water markings (the presence of Lake Tahoe itself being the only exception to this trend).

  1. Looks like a beautiful trail. Good point about the lakes. They even label Echo Lake but don't have it indicated.
