National Trails Day® –Celebration of the Tahoe Rim Trail!

"Help the Tahoe Rim Trail Association celebrate American Hiking Society's 21st annual National Trails Day®. We have dusted off our tools from winter hibernation to put them to use for the first time this year at the Van Sickle Bi-State Park at Stateline, NV. On June 1, 2013, trail enthusiasts from all over the region will join our trail building team and partners to kick off the 2013 trail building season on this special day."

To participate, please register online at www.tahoerimtrail.org. The first 100 volunteers to register online will be entered into a raffle with many great prizes.
The event begins in the back of the Harrah’s Tahoe parking lot at 9:00am. Enjoy free coffee donated by Starbucks and then help the TRTA build trail for the first time this season! Volunteers of all skill levels and physical abilities are welcome and encouraged to participate-no prior experience necessary. Volunteers will receive free lunch provided by REI and the TRTA. The event will conclude at 4:00pm with a volunteer party at Explore Tahoe including free food and drink. This event opens the fifth trail-building season of a multi-year project, which has connected the Tahoe Rim Trail with Van Sickle State Park, enhanced the Van Sickle Trail System, and provided new trail to stunning views of Lake Tahoe. Volunteering at National Trails Day is a great way to be a part of this exciting project and give back to your community. Volunteers must wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and substantial closed toed shoes or boots; bring sunscreen, work gloves, water and a backpack. The Tahoe Rim Trail Association will provide hard hats, trail building tools, expert crew leaders and LUNCH!
