Why Gluten Free?

Gluten refers to the proteins found in wheat, rye and barley which cause an adverse reaction in people with gluten-related disorders. On a gluten-free diet, these grains and any foods or ingredients derived from them must be removed from the diet. This includes the obvious breads, pastas and baked goods made with gluten-containing flours, but may also include less obvious foods such as sauces, salad dressings, snacks and other processed foods that can contain small amounts of ingredients derived from gluten-containing grains.

Why Tahoe Trail Bar?

Tahoe Trail Bar is a plant based, gluten free energy bar that features incredible taste, a clean ingredient label, non-GMO ingredient sourcing, and vegan and gluten-free dietary certifications.

Each day, we are wildly committed to delivering the highest quality fuel that allows people to connect with the outdoors. We have an uncompromisable duty to our team, customers, and mountain community to build a balanced and grateful company. Whatever outdoor adventure awaits you, let Tahoe Trail Bar be the fuel for your journey.

Our Story

This bar was crafted in a coffee shop on the southern shores of Lake Tahoe. The original recipe is still what we hang our hat on today: chocolate chunks and peanut butter. No mush, just wholesome ingredients that you can taste and pronounce.

The local community fell in love with our bar for two simple reasons:

High-quality fuel, crafted with ingredients they loved (and could pronounce) and a delicious connection to the outdoors.

Our Beliefs


Be Grateful

We are thankful for our humble beginnings, the Lake Tahoe community, our competitors, each person that buys our fuel, and for each and every one of you who loves the outdoors.

Respect the Mountains

Love the only place where can you experience mind-bending light, a sunset you could never describe and silence you could never replicate. The mountains are our home.

Always live in balance

In everything we do, from crafting clean and great tasting energy bars to sponsoring your local triathlon to getting out and climbing our favorite mountain peaks, we value balance. We work to live and we understand that one must give before they receive.
