PLANNING MEETING ANNOUNCED

PLANNING MEETING:  To qualify for the TRT you will need to attend the planning meeting on Sunday, May 16th at Bayside Church in room C-235 next Sunday from 5:00 - 7:00.  Bayside Church is located at 8211 Sierra College Boulevard, Roseville, CA.   We will ask that you demonstrate both experience with elevation and a fitness level adequate to this level of exertion.  

WHO: We would like to form a team of BAS members interested in completing the TRT. These are four boot hikes and will span across 6 weekends.   It is limited to those who can demonstrate both experience with elevation and a fitness level adequate to this level of exertion.  

WHAT: The Tahoe Rim Trail (TRT) is know as “A trail like no other”.  It is a world class travel destination that passes through two state lines (California and Nevada), and six counties.  The trail is 165 mile winding peak to peak around Lake Tahoe.  The trail rises from the lakeshore and climbs through forests and meadows to ridges 8,000 feet or higher.
Once we’ve completed all sections of the TRT, you can register to join the 165 Miler Club.  The Tahoe Rim Trail Association will give you a 165 mile patch, a beautiful full color certificate of completion, put your name in the 165 Mile Club Log Book, on the website, and in the Trail Blazer. All of these will be reminders of one of your greatest achievements. See www.tahoerimtrail.org for details of becoming a TRT member.
