Tahoe Rim Notes 7

The Tahoe Rim Trail from Big Meadow to Echo Summit was probably the most beautiful segment for wild flowers and colors that we have travelled this summer. Only 15.6 miles of terrain to trek but what a journey this was! If you only have time to do one segment, this would be the one if you can make the high season for the gorgeous flowers.

The Lupine were shoulder high and the Corn Flowers equally tall. Indian Paint Brush was vibrant and combined with the Mules Ears, Blue Flax and Ranger Buttons, well what a panorama of botanics.

This segment was fun to do and especially since some of the other were physically more challanging, it was just nice to coast and enjoy the scenery for most of the day.

The vista’s were particularly spectacular and we got to see almost to Yosemite. It’s impressive to see the major peaks and mountains that surround the Tahoe Basin and neighboring wilderness.

Once again, the Tahoe Rim Trail hiking experience has been top notch. The TRT guides were super as usual and the Chase Relay member Salley Huttenmayer was really fun to get to know. I have voted Salley as the most “graceful” hiker of our team. Most of us are really trekking hard and she just seemed to glide.
