Mountain Biking Tahoe Rim Trail

****   Add a review
#5 of 1,005 mountain bike trails in California
#64 in the world

The Tahoe Rim Trail encompasses the ridge tops of the Lake Tahoe Basin, crossing six counties, and two states. The trail overlaps with approximately fifty miles of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. On this trail you will find awesome technical singletrack that weaves around all of Lake Tahoe.

Rider questions

Q: We're from Europe and like to discover some singletracks in California (this is one handy website!). We would like to ride a part of the Tahoe Rim trail... Impossible to bring our own gear from Europe (bikes and so...). Are there any recommendations to rent some quality MTB gear in the neighbourhood of Lake Tahoe? Thanks for the replies. Grtz, K.

Q: What is the best time of year to ride Tahoe?
