Tahoe Rim Trail Outing: Introduction to Backpacking
Location: Call for meeting location
Introduction to Backpacking: A Beginner's Adventure - Tahoe Meadows to Spooner Summit. Strenuous. Here's the perfect opportunity if you've always wanted to try backpacking, or are a novice and enjoy backpacking with others. Learn the tricks of light-weight backpacking. Explore the wonderful back-country along the world famous Tahoe Rim Trail, and experience the thrill being out in nature with minimal luxuries. 21.8 miles of trail roams high above sparkling alpine lakes rimmed with aspens, through sun-warmed conifer stands, and across steep flower strewn slopes. We will camp in one of the designated campgrounds in Nevada State Park. This is not a trip where you will be catered, but rather an opportunity to learn by doing. Pets are not allowed. Maximum of 8 people. Contact our leader Steven Andersen at 775-588-2603 or email to steve@takeitoutdoors.com. Get more details online at: www.takeitoutdoors.com/trtsept.htm
