RR TRT from Stagecoach to Star Lake, Down Cold creek.

This weekend being my last weekend to ride in Tahoe due to the shitty job situation, I wanted to ride one of the last big chunks of the Tahoe Rim Trail that I have not ridden. Kingsbury (Stagecoach) to Star Lake. It also helped that this also happened to be TAMBA's group ride for today. Perfect!

The route:
Start at Ski Run road near the bottom of the California side at Heavenly. Shuttle up to the Stagecoach lift on the Nevada side of the ski resort. Up the Tahoe Rim Trail to Star Lake. Then down the new Star Lake Connector trail to Cold Creek. Down Cold Creek to Powerline trail. From Power Line back to Ski Run road.

Short grind up the ski resort fire road to meet up with the Rim Trail


The Carson Valley down below.


The rim trail around the back side of Heavenly.


Lots of rocks and exposure on this section of the TRT. Reminded me of riding in the San Gabes


Carson Valley views were abundant.












Rest stop at Star Lake.




Down the Star Lake Connector to Cold Creek.






From here on I neglected to take many pictures because I somehow forgot stop.

 

Very nice, I see you saved one of the best for last.

Nice RR. Looks like a good ride.

 

Nice to see what that route looks like. Dean wanted to do this when we were there a few weeks ago but we ran out of riding days. We'll have to put this up at the top of the list for next summer. Now that you've scouted most of the TRT and premier Tahoe trails, what was your favorite?
