The Tahoe Rim Trail in North America is estimated to be 165 miles (266 kilometers) long, and takes 11 days* to complete when hiking at an average of 15 miles (25 kilometers) per day.
It is a loop trail, which means that to do a complete thru hike of the trail, you will start and end your hike at the same place.
Because the Tahoe Rim Trail is a loop trail, a thruhiker can start their hike at any point along the trail and complete a successful thruhike. One recommended starting point is 64 Acres Trailhead in Tahoe City, California, United States.
A good day of the year to start this hike from the 64 Acres Trailhead is July 1.
The Tahoe Rim Trail Association takes on the task of maintaining, improving, and advocating for the Tahoe Rim Trail as its trail association.
