Trail Overview

This is a fantastic trail for a mid-level, experienced rider who is looking for great vistas overlooking Reno and Sparks. There's always a chance to see groups of wild mustangs along the trails throughout the foothills. The trail is mostly rock covered with steep grades and deep washouts. In the winter, expect snow and deep mud above 5000 feet.

Status Reports

TRAIL IS NOT A 6/7 it’s crazy that OnX rates it as that it is nowhere close to rock crawling. The trails are cool and you get to see some while horses but was not what we expected at all. Any stock 4x4 could do it slow going due to it not being maintained.

No clue why this is rated a 6/10. Mostly rocky but this whole trail could be navigated with a stock SUV and a decent driver.
