Intermediate Hike Series: Big Meadow to Dardanelles Lake

Visit Website
Big Meadow Trailhead

February 14 @ 6:39 am

Join the Tahoe Rim Trail Association (TRTA) and our trained guides on our Intermediate Fall hike series!

The hike to Dardanelles Lake features a short, steady climb to Big Meadow, then a gradual ascent to a ridge with beautiful views of the peaks surrounding Dardanelles Lake. After the ridge, the trail descends through the beautiful forest and crosses several shallow creeks before arriving at the lovely, granite-rimmed Dardanelles Lake. This out-and-back trail is considered moderately challenging and is 7.5 miles long roundtrip with 1300′ elevation gain. Bring your own lunch, snacks, and water, and enjoy a lovely day on the trail with fellow hiking enthusiasts!

What to Expect

TRTA outings are group outings; we do our best to keep the group together. Trip leaders dedicate much of their time throughout the year to sharing their passion for the outdoors. They are well-trained and experienced. Please respect the decisions made on the trail.
