Tahoe Rim Trail (Glass Mountain)

The climbing is front-loaded — most of the 385 ft of gain lands in the first half of the 0.93 miles. The main climb starts right off the line and runs 0.38 miles, gaining 197 ft at an average 9.8%. The steepest sustained pitch averages 11% and begins just past mile 0.44. You finish 286 ft above the start, so the return trip runs mostly downhill.

At 0.9 miles it is longer than 38% of the 162 trails mapped in Placer County.
