Tahoe rim trailhead kiosk & panel improvements

The Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration awarded a $140,000 Formula Grant under the Recreational Trails Program to the Nevada Department of Transportation to fund Phase 1 of a trailhead kiosk and panel redesign project for the Tahoe Rim Trail system. The Nevada Department of Transportation will use the funding to construct two Level 1 kiosks and one Level 3 kiosk with updated maps, new trail stewardship information, donation boxes, and granite bases at Mt. Rose Summit and Tahoe Meadows trailheads. Additionally, new informational panels will be installed at all other major Nevada-based Tahoe Rim Trail trailheads. The Recreational Trails Program provides funds to states to develop and maintain recreational trails and trail-related facilities for both motorized and nonmotorized recreational trail uses.

Project description

The tahoe rim trail association (TRTA) will execute phase 1 of a kiosk redesign project for the tahoe rim trail (TRT) system by building two level 1 kiosks and one level 3 kiosk with updated/improved maps, new trail stewardship information, new donation boxes, and a granite base at MT. Rose summit and tahoe meadows trailheads. These are areas with heavy use and failing/damaged trailhead structures that are unsustainable. The TRTA will also install new panels with updated maps and information at all other major TRT nevada-based trailheads.
