Hiking on the High Sierra Trail
The first Saturday in June is National Trails Day and is celebrated here in the Sierra. This event is held throughout the United States and it is a time to showcase and to help us promote awareness of the wide variety of benefits that our California trails provide and to encourage people to discover their local trials and instill excitement for the outdoors.

The 165+ mile single-track trail is open to hiking, equestrians, and mountain biking (in most areas).

The entire Tahoe Rim Trail is designated as a National Recreation Trail and has approximately 50 miles that are co-located with the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail and is, therefore, part of the National Trails System.
