From unforgettable Art Hikes, a World Concert, art workshops,to immersive arts-in-nature field trips for local students, Trails & Vistas embraces the magic of creativity in the Sierra. Trails & Vistas celebrates Art, Earth and Sky with guided art hikes through the majestic natural scenery of the Sierra. Celebrating nature....Celebrating art Thank you to our Community PartnersSince 2004, Trails & Vistas has established a regional and local partnership program designed to foster the performing, visual and literary arts, and inspire environmental stewardship.
Jay Howard, park supervisor of Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park said “Nevada State Parks is proud to collaborate with, and support, the activities of the Trails and Vistas organization. The Art Hikes, Art Hikes for Schools, World Concert, and other various hikes done at Sand Harbor and Spooner Backcountry is a fun and unique way to enjoy the great outdoors. The way Trails and Vistas joins art and nature in an outdoor setting is simply an experience that you must have. Come join us in 2016.”
We are collaborators!Founded in 2004, Trails & Vistas has grown to offer Art Hikes, Art in Nature Field Trips, World Concert, and community art/dance workshops. Trails & Vistas is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization partnered with several Truckee/Tahoe non-profit organizations, The Truckee Donner Land Trust, Inner Rhythms Dance Theatre, Nevada State Parks, Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival, Arts in Wellness, For Goodness Sake, North Tahoe Arts and KidZone Museum. As partners we believe this art event not only strengthens the ties between environment organization and local arts organizations in the Lake Tahoe region, but also increases participants' commitment to building a stronger community and environmental stewardship through the celebration of the environment through the arts.
