P-10 Trail

Named by the BLM, P-10 is a North/South trail passing along the East side of the Carson Valley. On the North it intersects Sunrise Pass (BLM R-09), and in the South intersecting with Pine Nut Road II (BLM P-11). P-10 is an easy trail, consisting of dirt, sand, and some rocky sections. There is a minor water crossing that varies in depth depending on the season. There is little elevation change. Most of the trail is open ground through rolling hills, with a portion through the trees. In the winter, when the ground is water-soaked, some trail sections in the south are very slippery. The main attractions of P-10 are the vast number of trails that join or cross the trail, both East and West, and the wild horse herds that frequent the area through which the trail passes. The surrounding hills offer views of the Carson Valley and the majestic Sierra Front.
