Definitely adding this to my list, but it’s probably going to be a year or two.

Here ya go: http://www.singletracks.com/images/uploads/2012/07/trt-elevation-0.jpg

You’re right, it is pretty interesting. Started off at almost 9,000 feet, ended at 7,000, but some pretty stiff climbs (you can easily see that big one I was talking about) thrown in.

Crazy awesome views! That water looks awesome!

Do you have the elevation profile handy? For a shuttle run with 3k feet of climbing I bet it’s pretty unique!

RoadWarrior, when you do it, definitely add in the TRT. The TRT is where the fun riding really is, and the Flume, while it’s pretty fun, is really all about the views.

Sad to say, but it seems like most trails with views this good are closed to bikes, so this is truly a rare treat!!

Wow, the views are unreal. Being able to ride the bike there is an absolute bonus.

Beautiful. I lived there a long time ago(’75). Rode Road bike everywhere. Hiked, backpacked…kind of forgot how amazing the Lake is from the Rim. Great shots and story.

Awesome pics, never get tired of seeing photos from Lake Tahoe!

I rode a (very small) section of the TRT a couple years ago that connected up with the trails at Northstar. It’s so cool that you can ride a lift up, shred backcountry singletrack, then bomb back down to your hotel with a pool. Great place to ride!
