Forest Service offers guided hikes at Lake Tahoe ski resort
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — Summer is here and that means it’s time to get out and enjoy your public lands. The U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit and Heavenly Mountain Resort offers folks to Hike with a Ranger this summer.
Hikes begin at the top of the gondola every day at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. The guided hikes last approximately an hour and a half and continue every day through summer, weather permitting.
Hikes are moderate in terms of difficulty, closed toed shoes and drinking water are required for attendance along with a ticket to ride the gondola. Remember to bring your sunscreen. No reservations are required and attendance is on a first-come, first-served basis.
This Conservation Education program aims to provide an enjoyable outdoor opportunity to learn more about the Lake Tahoe environment.
Rangers cover a variety of natural history topics that promote a deeper understanding of natural resources, while increasing environmental literacy and developing land stewardship. Programs are led by Heavenly’s own Eco Rangers along with U.S. Forest Service Rangers. This program is made possible through the LTBMU’s invaluable partnership in outdoor recreation with Heavenly Mountain Resort.
