This experience offers travelers rare, expert access to an ISA-Certified Arborist, providing hands-on learning you won’t find on typical forest tours. Guests get to identify real Tahoe tree species, read tree rings to estimate age, and watch a proper log-splitting demonstration—with the option to try a supervised axe swing themselves. You’ll also gain meaningful insight into Lake Tahoe’s forest conservation and wildfire prevention efforts, making this both educational and impactful. The experience ends around a warm campfire with hot cocoa and s’mores, creating a relaxed and memorable setting that makes this adventure uniquely Tahoe.
