Tahoe Rim Trail Bonuses
Thanks for purchasing a Tahoe Rim Trail Pocket Atlas
Here are some additional resources to help you plan your Tahoe Rim Trail adventure:
Tahoe Rim Trail GPS Waypoints
Here are the waypoints from the Tahoe Rim Trail Pocket Atlas, 2nd Edition for use with your Smartphone or GPS. Because electronic devices can become disabled in the backcountry, you should never depend on them as a sole method of navigation. Always pack real maps and a compass too.

Tahoe Rim Trail Pocket Atlas Updates
There is a typo on page 17 of the Tahoe Rim Trail Pocket Atlas, 2nd Edition. In the “miles from previous” column, the distance from Echo Summit Trailhead to Highway 50 is listed as 0.5 miles. It should be 0.9 miles instead.
