Tahoe Rim Trail 5 Day Fastpacking Attempt in High Snow Year

Type: Interesting

Description:
The Tahoe Rim Trail forms a complete loop 165 miles around the Lake Tahoe Basin on the border of California and Nevada. A thru-hike of the trail typically takes 10-15 days.

My friend Adam and I had planned on fastpacking the trail over a 5 day period in late June of 2019. The only problem is that this happened to be a particularly high snow year, with snowpack in the Sierra Nevada range at over 200% of average, and 33 times the levels of the previous year.
