I thru-hiked the Tahoe Rim Trail (TRT) in 2025 and 2026. In 2025, I was struggling with a shoulder injury, later diagnosed as a complete rotator cuff tear. In January of 2026, I had rotator cuff surgery and decided to test out my new and improved shoulder by hiking the TRT again. I blogged about my 2026 hike and you can find those posts HERE. I also created a TRT photo album and recorded my tracks using my Garmin Mini 2. I used AI to create a custom webpage for following my hike live and viewing the data later. Check it out and let me know what you think!

I highly recommend the Tahoe Rim Trail for all types of hiking. Day hiking, backpacking, or a short thru-hike, the TRT does not disappoint. For more information check out the Tahoe Rim Trail Association website. If you do decide to thru-hike the TRT, I recommend using FarOut for both planning and navigation.
