The Dreaming Tree will inspire, surprise and delight our senses," shares Nancy Tieken Lopez, Trails and Vistas' director and founder who began designing art hikes while earning a Masters of Fine Arts from San Jose State University.

Today the distinctive art hikes are a collaborative effort led by Lopez and co-director Elizabeth Archer with vital support from volunteers and regional organizations including the Truckee Donner Land Trust, InnerRhythms Dance Theatre and the KidZone Museum.
