Welcome to Trailside Journal


Lets start - June 23rd 2025 Lake Tahoe Rim Trail
We are looking at 165 miles starting from Desolation Wilderness.
This remote back country wilderness is a lake shoremen's dream come true 🎣
Be sure to anchor down all bear canister's
Mosquito's have been known to carry away supplies.
The entrance at Desolation Wilderness comes with potable water, restrooms, and a store that sells meal worms and salmon eggs.
I am sure that a resourceful hiker will make good use of this 😂
Echo Lake Chalet is a great place to dial in, refresh your gear and sample the selection's of hiker food and family camping gear.
yes, including Hot Chocolate, Marsh mellow's, Graham Cracker's, and Hersheys..
During the summer season starting from mid July Echo Lake Chalet Store and Marina
offers a Boat Taxi Service 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM $14.00 Per Person.
Plan to be back at the dock by 4:30 PM.
If you are looking for a fishing wilderness excursion
with total incredible walking distances of a block or two this is it. ❤️
NOTE: There is no wood gathering allowed becuase there is no wood to be found..
Dont be surpised by the sudden passage of hikers coming through.
They are hikers aiming to catch Canada before winter sets
on the incredible discovery of 2,650 miles the Pacific Crest Trail.
