As funny as it may sound, I'm kicking off summer with the launch of Tahoe Powder, The Tahoe Weekly's new winter magazine. An early evening of fun is on tap from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 19 at Hacienda del Lago to celebrate the launch of this new San Francisco Bay Area publication highlighting all things Tahoe. Where else are summer celebrations in full swing this week? Throughout Tahoe City, of course!

The Challenge highlights six different areas of the incredibly scenic Tahoe Rim Trail so this summer you will be inspired to hike, bike or ride an area you may have never visited. Maps plus driving directions to the trail heads are provided for each of the highlighted areas. And, you receive a full year membership to the Tahoe Rim Trail Association and trekking T-shirt. 2. It’s fun! 3. The Tahoe Rim Trail Association is dedicated to the ongoing maintenance of the trail so if you enjoy it on foot, bike, horseback, skis or snowshoes, this is a great and affordable opportunity to support the organization that is a year round steward of the trail.  Bonus: On-the-trail “Giveaway Days,” sponsored by Squeeze In, KOLO 8, CoffeeBar and other companies, offer cool specials exclusively for Trail Challenge members. After the first hike of the season everyone walked away with a great Platypus water container from Tahoe Mountain Sports and they’ll be hosting a trail shoe demo day on July 19.
We’re a sponsor of the 2014 Tahoe Rim Trail Challenge. You can join our group, Hiking with NicoleCheslock.com, start your own team or join on your own or with your family and friends.

 On May 20, freelance photographer and journalist Nicole Dreon wowed an audience of fifty at The Cedar House Sport Hotel in Truckee. CA. Comparing her zest for adventure with Joan Wilder, from Romancing the Stones, Dreon shared entertaining stories from her enviable lifestyle connecting with and photographing people and places around the world. Having recently returned from Morocco and Senegal, Dreon’s incredible images in the #HowDoYouTahoe speaker series featured the Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles across the Sahara Desert, rolling dunes, children and mothers as well as local surfers enticed by the waves made famous in ‘Endless Summer.’
Patty Baird, owner of The Cedar House and Tahoe Trips & Trails, was on site to welcome guests and encourage all those present to tap into their own spirit of adventure during the event which raised funds for Adventure Risk Challenge, the life enhancing outdoor leadership and literacy program for teens. “I was thrilled to receive the news of last night's success. $1,000 will absolutely help us this year,” shared Sarah Cupery Ottley, Director of Adventure Risk Challenge. “We are in desperate need of new sleeping bags and have only hit dead ends in seeking in-kind donations…so, very likely, thanks to you all [Tahoe Trips & Trails], our participants will be warmer and drier in the backcountry this summer.” Next up: “The Mind, Heart and Soles of Thru-hikers” Love outdoor adventures and connecting with like-minded folks? Wonder what it's really like to be a triple crowner – someone who has hiked the complete Pacific Crest, Appalachian and Continental Divide trails? Then don’t miss “The Mind, Heart and Soles of Thru-hikers” on Tuesday, June 17 at The Cedar House Sport Hotel. The event, complete with a short film created by PCT thru-hikers and engaging panel of avid adventurer, is designed to make you laugh, think, connect and completely enjoy an evening out. Tickets, $20, are available at TahoeTrips.com. Should you buy in advance? Why, yes! You’ll be entered into a drawing for dinner at Stella. |
