STATELINE, Nev. — The Tahoe Rim Trail Association (TRTA) is now accepting registrations for its Hybrid Wilderness First Responder (WFR) course with NOLS Wilderness Medicine, taking place February 16-20, 2026 in Stateline, Nevada. This training is the gold standard for guides, outdoor professionals, and backcountry enthusiasts.

With limited capacity and strong regional interest, the TRTA encourages early registration for those planning to earn or renew their WFR certification. The hybrid format combines online coursework with five days of hands-on instruction, scenario practice, and essential skills for responding to emergencies in remote environments.
