Summer is here, meaning it’s time to get out and enjoy your public lands. The U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit and Heavenly Mountain Resort offer folks to Hike with a Ranger this summer.

Hikes will take place every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. at the top of the Heavenly Gondola, weather permitting.

The guided hikes last approximately one hour and continue every weekend through September 29, 2024, weather permitting.

Hikes are moderate in terms of difficulty, closed-toed shoes and drinking water is required for attendance along with a ticket to ride the gondola. Remember to bring your sunscreen. No reservations are required, and attendance is on a first-come, first-served basis.

This Conservation Education program aims to provide an enjoyable outdoor opportunity to learn more about the Lake Tahoe environment. Rangers cover a variety of natural history topics that promote a deeper understanding of natural resources while increasing environmental literacy and developing land stewardship. Programs are led by Heavenly’s Eco Rangers and U.S. Forest Service Rangers. This program is made possible through the LTBMU’s invaluable partnership in outdoor recreation with Heavenly Mountain Resort.
