For many hopeful hikers, dedicating 15 days or an entire summer to hike the Tahoe Rim Trail (TRT) just isn’t possible. Between work, school, finances, and home life, it’s hard to fit in the TRT. To address this challenge, the Tahoe Rim Trail Association (TRTA) offers a 5-day intermediate guided backpacking trip. When you sign up for the Taste of the TRT, experts support you every step of the way from pre-trip planning to water caches on dry stretches of trail. This adventure offers an experience of a lifetime. It is an opportunity to meet new hiking friends, disconnect from modern life, and create lasting memories of traveling through some of the most beautiful scenery in the Northern Sierra Nevada.
