Backcountry Access Zones Map

  • Click here to access our new Backcountry Access Zones map. TBA is happy to share this map of backcountry locations around the Lake Tahoe region as a starting point when considering touring options. This map is by no means exhaustive and does not take into consideration snow/plowing conditions that can affect parking for respective locations. Trailhead and access zone conditions are fluid and subject to changes due to weather, jurisdiction, and agency enforcement. Please research any location before touring to ensure it’s suited to your group’s abilities and always keep current snowpack/weather conditions in mind.
