The Lake Tahoe Hi-Lo's is a family oriented four wheel drive club, based in South Lake Tahoe, CA. We currently have about 35 General and Associate members. Our club was started in 1966 and over the years we have put on local high speed hill climbs & sand drags in the sixty's & seventy's. We have been hosting a annual Gambler's Poker Run since 1987. Money we raise from our events, we donate back to local charities.
The name Hi-Lo's is short for High-Range/Low-Range. From the days when we would use High-Range for some of our racing events, & Low-Range for rock crawling. We make several conservation trips a year to do trail maintenance, erosion control & trash clean-up on our local trails. The rest of the season, we like to go 4-wheeling & camping. From old mining roads in Nevada to the High Sierra trails, such as Barrett Lake Trail, Deer Valley Trail & The Rubicon Trail. Our club has also worked as volunteers on the Jeepers Jamboree for over 40 years.
