The Tahoe Rim Trail | Day 5: Richardson Lake - Tahoe City (23 miles)
(8/23/23) From Richardson Lake the day started off with a few miles of pleasant forest walking with minimal views.
Eventually I arrived at Barker Pass and from there it was wide open allowing for some of my first views of Lake Tahoe in several days.
Shortly after, I started a climb up towards Twin Peaks. The climb up kicked my butt. At the top I ran into Jared who I met at the hostel a few days prior. We ended up hiking together into Tahoe City. As we descended my feet were absolutely killing me, so it was great to have company. Eventually, we made it into town and stopped at the first restaurant near trail. Pizza and beer had me feeling better!
I had a campground reservation at Tahoe SRA, and Jared joined me there. We went swimming in Lake Tahoe! That was a really cool experience. We also went out for a beer, charged our electronics, and downloaded the new Ahsoka show. We watched at the picnic table before heading to bed. 🍿🤓

Good pizza! Had to look it up to remember: Front Street Station.

It was absolutely delicious after a long day of hiking! I was really feeling the miles as I get there so the fact that it is right off trail was also a huge plus!

Great video as always. Surprised you were wearing shorts bushwhacking. How much weight do you think you will lose from a trip like this ?

[@give.me.wilderness]

No actual bushwacking, just some overgrown trail! Nothing prickly, just very wet when I went through. I do alot of training before these hikes so I probably lose more in the prep leading up to my hike than I do on the actual trail.
