Over the last few weeks the Tahoe Fund has been running a March Madness style tournament to determine the most popular trail in Tahoe. This March was the snowiest on record, meaning it’s still not hiking season, but March is always bracket season!
Congratulations to the 2023 Tahoe Trails Madness Champion: the Rubicon Trail! The Rubicon entered this tournament as one of the favorites, known for its great lake views, accessibility, and recognizable name.
The champ went up against tough competition in the tournament, facing Ellis Peak in the first round and Mt. Tallac in the second. In the Final Four, Rubicon easily topped Eagle Rock and the Marlette Flume Trail to bring home the title.
Thanks to everyone who voted over the last three weeks; we received thousands of votes both online and on Instagram. Now that the tournament is over, we just need to wait for our trails to melt out. See you all on the Rubicon Trail this summer!
