Lake Tahoe Flume Trail/Rim Trail, South Lake Tahoe


Directions:  Start at Spooner Lake at the Spooner Summit on Highway 50 between South Lake Tahoe and Carson City NV.

Trail Information:   Get a map at the kiosk, take the main canyon trail to Lake Marlette, run around the lake to the dam and continue on The Flume, as you reach Tunnel Creek Rd. Go UP a short hill, at the top you will intersect with the Tahoe Rim Trail.  Go right and just stay on this trail as it will take you on a most magical run up to about 9000 feet!  Views are simply magic as BAZ would say.  The trail will eventually take you down to HIWY-50 and back to Spooner Lk.  Guesstimated about 26 miles.  Take your time and enjoy!!!  100 stars on a scale of 1-10!

Miscellaneous Information:  This is close to where the Tahoe Mt. Milers had their first 50K/50M Ultra runs in July 01'
