The Sawtooth Ridge Trail rolls through Sierra forests high above the Truckee River near Squaw Valley. Beginner and intermediate mountain bikers will love the stellar viewpoints, moderate climbs and fun rhythm. Occasional technical features keep things exciting. For a greater challenge, ride the trail in the opposite direction.
Take Hwy 267 to Brockway Dr. At the 7-11 on Brockway Dr. turn onto Ponderosa Palisades Rd. Take a right on Silverfir, a left on Thelin. The Forest Service gate will be on your right-hand side, and the trailhead starts 0.2 miles after gate. There are gravel parking lots at each of the intersections of the trail to the 06. And nearby are trails that intersect with the Northstar trail system.
