You don’t have to be an Olympian to explore the self-guided trails of the Olympic Heritage trails at Sugar Pine Point State Park. Sierra State Parks Foundation, the local nonprofit park partner, is hosting a free park day in honor of the 60th anniversary of the 1960 Winter Olympics, which took place in Squaw Valley and the West Shore of Lake Tahoe. This is a free opportunity to explore the Olympic Heritage trails and interpretive displays while learning about the cultural and natural history of the Tahoe Basin.

This free park day will be held February 22, 2020 from 10 am to 2 pm at Sugar Pine Point State Park. The Olympian Trail is on the campground side, not the lake side. The Sierra State Parks Foundation will be providing 50 free parking passes on a first come, first serve basis redeemable only on the Free Olympian Trail Day. These tickets are available at www.SierraStateParks.org.
