Truckee Tahoe Peaks

The Peak Project gave me ideas of hiking trails I probably would not have thought of doing, and most of them were amazing! I would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys challenging hikes to challenge themselves to do the 2021 peak project.

Lists can be magical sometimes… They can provide a little motivation, help mix up your training plan, inspire you to drive a little farther than you might otherwise, to do something new. Sometimes they even make the been-there-done-that special again. Not only was the peaks project just that for me this past summer, it also inspired me to finally introduce my 2-year old son to peak bagging. He was motivated to summit the three peaks with fire lookouts. We have a new obsession and some invaluable memories!

Truckee Tahoe Peaks Project was just the motivation I needed to get out during the Covid restrictions of the 2020 summer. I discovered some new-to-me peaks as well as climbing some old favorites. I can’t wait to see the 2021 Peak List and get outside to explore more!

I am a new resident of Truckee and exploring the peaks of my new home was a great way to “meet” the outdoor places that surround me.  As options for connecting with others were more limited this year the Peaks Challenge allowed me to virtually connect with a group of outdoor athletes and gave me an engaging challenge when races and in person events were not possible.

The Tahoe Peaks Project gave me the inspiration to check out new trails around the greater Tahoe area that I normally would not have gone to. Especially during a trying year, this exploration was much appreciated!

We all know what a dumpster fire 2020 has been, but one of the few bright spots was the Peaks Project… I found keeping track of others in the project inspiring and encouraging in a year that could otherwise have been a real downer for keeping fit and outdoors.
