Terrain considerations
Water access
Weather
Overlook Lake Tahoe
The Tahoe Rim Trail is a dog friendly loop around Lake Tahoe. It is 165 miles in its entirety, and we’ll be doing 20-25 miles of it, depending on group speed and ability.
Terrain
I’m selecting a portion of the trail that will challenge you and leave you empowered for more. We’ll be hiking a there-and-back portion of the loop trail.
Water Access
Water should be plentiful on the section we’re going to be hiking. As usual, it should be treated before drinking. Always count on packing plenty of water in, though.
Weather
Expect cold nights and chilly days. More information to come in April and May as the season develops.

Included with every trek
Trek With Your Dog Delivers
In order to maximize your experience and provide the most enjoyable time and memories, I provide the following for every group.
Sustainability
10% of my profit goes toward the trail association which takes care of the trails we are use. If there is no association, it goes to the park service in charge.
Gear Guidance
I’ll make custom recommendations on gear after talking with you, by your request. These will be based on your needs, experience level, and what you want to get out of this experience.
Breakfast and Dinner
Breakfast and dinner (for humans) will be provided by me for each day of the trek. You’ll be responsible for lunches, snacks, and your dog’s food.
I need to know of any restrictions or allergies you have one week in advance.
Permits
Some areas need permits, and if they allow me to obtain them on your behalf, that will be included.
Some areas require you to apply, yourself, and I’ll assist you on those, should you require or want it.
Preparation Materials
Before each trek I scout the area we’ll be going to. I confirm a few options for distance, campsites, water, and other details to make our trip better.
I put together a PDF package for you and what you’ll need to know and prepare for, for the hike.
Incidental Equipment
Where needed I’ll provide bear canisters for all participants.
In addition, you’ll get:
Sawyer Squeeze water filter
4oz isobutane fuel canister
Photos
Joy is best when shared.
I will provide a print of you and your dog with a gorgeous picturesque setting up to 20″x30″. Upgrades and options are available.
There will also be a high resolution digital image for you, and plenty of smaller ones for social media.
