The Capital to Tahoe Trail is a world class trail that provides an important and exciting connection for hikers, backpackers, mountain bikers, and equestrians to the Tahoe Rim Trail National Scenic Trail, and by extension, to the Pacific Crest Trail. From the steps of the Nevada State Capitol Building in Carson City, a hiker will now be able to quickly reach a single-track trail that could take them on an incredible journey of 1,152 miles to Mexico or 1,606 miles to Canada! Just a few months old, this trail, with its flowing turns and sweeping views of mountains and valleys, has already established itself as a regional favorite.
