Once a year, the Lake Tahoe Basin’s night sky erupts with a flurry of shooting stars — the Leonids Meteor Shower. Tahoe Rim Trail Association, Tahoe Institute for Natural Science and Space Science for Schools is having an event Nov. 17 from 7-9pm. It is a free, family friendly gazing party.

Note: This hike will be cancelled if the forecast predicts clouds or snow.

Description: We will meet at the Tahoe Meadows Trailhead and work our way over a short distance to a great viewing spot. It will be a cold evening, so remember to pack lots of yummy food and hot drinks, your winter clothes and plenty of blankets and lawn chairs so you can enjoy all that this beautiful natural display has to offer.

Distance: .25 miles
