Tahoe Rim Trail Day 4: Into Tahoe City (Watson Lake to Tahoe City!)

After three tough days on the Tahoe Rim Trail, Day 4 of my solo thru-hike of the TRT brought a much-needed reset. I hiked 14.6 miles into Tahoe City, where I grabbed a hot meal, showered, did some “laundry,” and started tending to sore feet. In this video, I’ll walk you through that transition—what it’s like to hit a trail town mid-hike, how I managed recovery and logistics, and what Tahoe City offers for backpackers. Whether you're planning a TRT thru-hike or just curious what town days are really like on trail, this day gives you a glimpse behind the scenes.
