Epic’ new Tahoe trail through old-growth forest is being built right now
Trail crews with the Tahoe Area Mountain Biking Association work on the Meeks Ridge Trail, which will open up a new 12-mile hiking and biking loop on Tahoe’s West Shore.
TL;DR
- A $250,000 donation from Kyle and Jessica Aster is funding the final 2-mile stretch of the Meeks Ridge Trail in Lake Tahoe.
- The 6-mile trail aims to connect hikers, mountain bikers, and e-bikers on the West Shore to Lost Lake.
- This project is considered one of TAMBA's most ambitious, opening up a rare east-west pathway over the Tahoe rim through old-growth forest.
- Upon completion, the Meeks Ridge Trail will form a 12-mile loop from Ed Z’berg Sugar Pine Point State Park and connect to the PCT and TRT.
- The trail is expected to be completed and opened to the public next year.
