I helped build that trail! Looks like it may have been rerouted in places. I didnt see the log rides or rock airplane turns we put in. Glad it got on youtube.
That’s awesome that you got to hit those trails one of the few times of the year that there’s grip! Usually it’s dry dry dry beach sand mixed with kitty litter and add some marbles in for good measure. That said, Corral and Armstrong are two of the funnest in the area for sure.
lol I've been riding the lower sections for a couple months, debating hitting the upper part this afternoon. It's late september and it's still bone dry up there.
I have ridden here many times, and have ridden all over. Used to write for Bike. YES, the Rim Trail, Hole-in-the-Ground and Tahoe generally is tied for #1 on my all-time favorite places to ride.
I rode some trails around Lake Tahoe, near Homewood/Tahoma area, back in '95. The trails were epic then and now they look even better now, so rad. Thanks!
I used to work as the rental bike mechanic for Kirkwoods bike park and we would do after work shuttle rides on Corral and sometime we would add the Armstrong connector. By the end of summer I could tell you every line, every rock and ever divot on that trail. I even did an unintentional night ride without lights one night and got through it by memory.
Still a super fun trail but it’s all burnt out now unfortunately from the Caldor fire. One benefit from it is we get to ride earlier in the year because it’s exposed so the s ow melts faster. But I’d rather have the trees back.
For sure! I should ride it more-I live in North Lake Tahoe and we have some super fun trails out the back here so sometimes the motivation to drive the hour south is lacking. TAMBA is amazing though, they do such a great job with all the trails in the Tahoe Basin! Glad you enjoyed your time out here. Cheers!
I've probably commented on this before, however, I'm wondering if this trail still ranks up in your top rides. I will say you rode it on the most perfect conditions. That trail tends to be a bit of a sandbox in the summer.
I’ll vouch for Trail Peek. They said exactly what I was thinking. That’s just a slice of what we have. If that made your top 3, they will help ya smash the top 10!
you can pedal up a road, or run a shuttle. just park or ride all the way to the gate. A must do. the local trail group "tamba" does endless work on these trails!!
So I'm guessing you liked those trails? That would be awesome to have a system like that here on the east coast.. I'm gonna need you to get on that asap.
