ow what a year! 2015 brought so many extraordinary accomplishments; I’ll hit some highlights here. We’ve welcomed five new energetic board members: Ande Chern, Jim Crompton, Jackie Ferek, Alice Hampton and Carl Woods. The Board and Staff spent five months developing a new strategic plan, which included defining our purpose, vision, mission and the goals and objectives to meet the mission.

by Mary Bennington Executive Director

Purpose: The Tahoe Rim Trail Association exists to protect and preserve the trail and the user experience.

Vision: The Tahoe Rim Trail connects diverse users to nature on a trail like no other.

We made a very minor but important change to our mission: To maintain and enhance the Tahoe Rim Trail system, practice and inspire stewardship and “preserve” access to the “natural” beauty of the Lake Tahoe region. With this change, the organization acknowledges the importance of preserving not only our amazing trail but the one of a kind user experience on our trail for future generations. This will bring some exciting changes to our programs in the upcoming year! If you’d like to see a synopsis of the plan you can find it on our website in the Press Room.

We finished up our “Connecting Tahoe Rim Trail Users to Transportation Alternatives Project” funded by a TRPA/TMPO 2

TRAIL BLAZER | Winter 2016 | Tahoe Rim Trail Association

On Our Way Grant with some great results. Two new transit stops have already been added at Spooner Summit to serve our two trailheads, signage will be improved at both the Tahoe City and Stateline Transit Centers, our website and the Transportation websites have been updated with useful information about how to get to our trailheads on public transit. In addition, we gathered excellent data on TRT users and developed recommendations to provide transportation alternatives to decrease vehicle miles traveled by those recreating in the basin. You can also view the full report and fact sheet in the Press Room.

The Tahoe Rim Trail Association was one of two organizations to complete the Summer Cadre for the Service Enterprise Initiative with Nevada Volunteers. This process involved evaluating our volunteer program, finding even more ways to involve volunteers and leveraging their skills to build our organization’s capacity. Based on our total of 426 volunteers who gave over 18,500 hours in the past year helping us meet our mission, we exemplify what the Service Enterprise Initiative is all about! To celebrate our incredible volunteers’ efforts, we had a grand party in September at Valhalla Tahoe to thank everyone!

As winter approaches, I hope you will join all of us doing a snow dance!

Happy trails!

The Dirt On Trail Operations

by Morgan Fessler Director Of Operations

I

t’s 8:00am on a Saturday in July and I’m headed down to Echo Lakes preparing for our trail survey and it hits me, I’m not even going to find a spot to park. At Echo Lakes, as the TRTA did at other trailheads around the Tahoe Rim Trail, staff and volunteers conducted a trail survey gathering information from trail users about their experience and interest. One aspect of the survey included hourly parking counts of cars at trailheads. The first count taken on that Saturday morning in July 2014 was 157 which peaked to 197 by noon. Looking at the parking lot, I’m not sure I would agree that there was capacity for 197! Cars were parked over red lines, blocking others in, off the pavement, and some even seemed to just stop in the middle of the street.

Unfortunately this experience is not unique.

A weekend on the TRT is getting busier.

Luckily the trailheads seem to be the sticking point. Once we hit the trail, we can take a deep breath of fresh air, smell the pines, and enjoy. But these challenges highlight a growing debate around the TRT that is brewing in our community of users.

Trails, types of trail users, trail conflicts, trail maintenance and special events have been highlighted throughout the summer in regional news outlets, and for as many different issues that came up, there were probably tenfold that number of opinions about how these issues should be managed.

These issues are also playing out on a national stage as the public deals with the effects on our individual recreational experience in a region that has seen extensive population increase and an explosion in interest and desire to enjoy outdoor recreation. This was depicted in an extremely interesting infographic by Marshall Swearingen in High Country News this July titled, “Public-lands Visitation and Recreation by the Numbers” which shows the doubling

of the population in the west between 1970 and 2010 and its effects on recreation and popular recreational destinations. It’s a very interesting read that I recommend checking out!

With this increase in use, which types of users get to use what trails? How do we expand our group of trail users to include currently under represented populations?

How do we balance what one user considers their favorite technical rock ‘project’ and another deems a significant hazard? Do we advocate for shuttles and public transit because it reduces vehicle miles traveled or hope trailhead parking capacity limits the users to a reasonable level? What does over saturation look like when it comes to on-trail events - one a month, one a weekend, one a day? What is the right balance for events to bring in revenue and tourism dollars while not negatively impacting the trail and trail users not involved in these events? Much more broadly, is the larger framework for how our public land is managed on par with the changing realities of the 21st century? I could go on but you get the point. There is a lot to consider!

It is in the context of these challenges that the Tahoe Rim Trail Association reexamined its mission during a fall strategic planning session. The TRTA’s new mission is to maintain and enhance the Tahoe Rim Trail system, practice and inspire stewardship and PRESERVE access to the NATURAL beauty of the Lake Tahoe Region. The mission is the same aside from two seemingly minor changes. The word preserve replaces promote and natural was added. These changes highlight the TRTA board’s recognition of the value of not just the trail but the overall trail experience including occasional solitude, the ‘viewshed’, and the opportunity to experience as John Muir eloquently said, “another glorious

Sierra day in which one seems to be dissolved and absorbed and sent pulsing onward we know not where. Life seems neither long nor short, and we take no more heed to save time or make haste than do the trees and stars.� The Tahoe Rim Trail has certainly been discovered.

While promotion may not be the main goal, preservation is tantamount. Land managers, the TRTA board, our membership and our community of trail users have a lot to consider as we collectively sort through how to best manage this valuable public resource.

In the meantime, as trail stewards we look to new solutions and techniques to ensure that, regardless of use patterns, the Tahoe Rim Trail System remains a world class experience.

During the summer of 2015, trail crews spent a significant amount of time armoring portions of trail, a process that helps ensure the trail has minimal erosion, rebuilding turns and

switchbacks, and addressing drainage issues. 25 Miles of trail were maintained and more than 300 downed trees were removed from the trail. 351 Fabulous folks came out to volunteer on the Tahoe Rim Trail System and represent a big part of the solution. No matter the management decisions Many different types of users frequent that are made regarding the Rim Trail, with our trails, erosion will more and more each still happen, trees will year. Representing diverse sets of still fall on the trail, and user interests is maintenance will remain a key part of the an imperative element Tahoe Rim Trail to successful recreation Association’s purposed and for everyone and a key mission. component of what the TRTA does. We love the passion for recreation the TRT community has and want to encourage everyone to get involved!

Also consider joining a trail crew and remember that everyone you encounter on the trail is out there for similar reasons and a friendly hello, howdy goes a long way!

Lindsey’s Compass

by Lindsey Schultz Director Of Trail Use

J

ust like the individual uniqueness of one’s fingerprint, no two snowflakes are alike. Little was known about snowflakes, however, until 1885 when Wilson “Snowflake” Bentley of Jericho, Vermont began an obsessive quest to understand the nature of the snowflake. By capturing the snow on a black piece of felt, rushing it over to a homemade, camera-readied microscope, and carefully placing the flake on the lens with the help of a turkey feather, Bentley captured over 5,000 snowflake images. These “tiny miracles of beauty”, as Bentley called them, form through the coordinated efforts of countless aerial variables beginning with very cold water freezing onto a floating particle in the sky creating an ice crystal, also known as Diamond Dust. As the ice crystal falls, additional water vapor freezes to the primary ice crystal forming new crystals which then branch into six arms forming what we recognize to be a snowflake. The journey from floating particle to Diamond Dust to snowflake, though identical in sequence, differs in such a way that each six armed ice crystal can be distinguished from all others.

Interested in unravelling more winter mysteries this season? Hit the trail and experience the TRT in snow. To kick start your adventure, here are a few snowflake friendly tips to keep in mind: A good thermos is your friend! Hiking in the snow works up quite an appetite and having a nice hot cup of tea or soup ready for a rest stop is even better than the cherry on top.

Trail Use 2015 Accomplishments Guides and Ambassadors gave over 4,000 hours sharing their passion and knowledge of the TRTA and safely helping others around the Tahoe Rim Trail. They led 31 guided hikes, two backcountry skills courses, two Thru Hikes, two multi-week Segment hikes, and four Youth Backcountry Camps guiding 332 adult and 37 youth participants.

It’s slippery out there. Snowy trails can turn into icy trails after a few passes. Consider Yak Trax type devices for your shoes and/or trekking poles.

Keep in mind that, in general, the TRT is not signed for winter use. Have a map and compass and know how to navigate when the trail is not visible.

If your furry, four legged friend is accompanying you, make sure to pay special attention to their paws. Snow and ice can buildup on their paws which dogs often try to lick off (and if you have ever seen ‘A Christmas Story’ you can image where that will get them). Consider booties or baby oil to remedy this.

Check out the TRTA’s trail conditions page for updates on winter trail conditions and send us your reports!

Take a trek with an expert. Join the TRTA and get into the snowy backcountry this winter by joining one of our guided winter snowshoe treks or Snow Camping 101. Learn how to survive and thrive in the still of winter.

Tahoe Rim Trail Challenge Highlights It’s year three and the Tahoe Rim Trail Challenge continues to expand by leaps and bounds! This year we reached exciting milestones with a community of new and veteran challengers!

Each one displayed their own outstanding endurance and enthusiasm as they hit the trail exploring more of the TRT and the natural beauty of the Tahoe Basin!

What will 2016 bring? We have yet to see! What we can promise is another fun year on the trail, more sections of the Tahoe Rim Trail to explore and new activities for families, teams and individuals to enjoy while learning the long-lasting value of preserving this “trail like no other!”

Who’s Who? Congrats to our Trail Challengers who Tracked the Most Miles William Bowers Phillip Gregory Susan Kelso Christine Winkel Chris Harley

THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS! On September 27th, TRTA volunteers gathered for an evening at the historic Valhalla Grand Hall to celebrate another remarkable year.
