Join the Tahoe Rim Trail Association (TRTA) guides and nonprofit partner Tahoe Institute for Natural Science (TINS) for an alpine hike to Galena Falls in the Mount Rose Wilderness to enjoy the beauty of mountain wildflowers at the peak of their summer bloom. The TRTA is the primary steward of the Tahoe Rim Trail system, and TINS is a valuable ecological stewardship organization and community education provider. Together, our organizations collaborate to provide educational experiences in this Summer Exploration Series across the Tahoe Rim Trail and throughout the Basin.

Naturalist, Sarah Hockensmith will lead the group along the trail and teach you all about local wildflowers and the animals that rely on them to survive. Bring your camera for this event and get ready to enjoy nature’s colorful show!
