MOUNTAIN BIKING: Sierra Canyon Trail

← NV MICKEY DITCH 1 SWGW CANAL SW MICKEY DITCH 1 SWGW CANAL SW Single Tracks →

Description

A moderate technical trail best ridden down hill. You can approach on the <br />
Tahoe Rim trail from either Kingsbury or Spooner. You can of course climb <br />
the trail from the bottom. The top mile or two has sections of large and <br />
loose rock, but rideable in its entirety. The middle section has some minor <br />
loose rock sections and some short uphill. If you keep your speed these are <br />
pretty much a non-event. The lower and very bottom sections are where <br />
the fun is with some nice flowy sections through the forest. A couple of <br />
spring crossings keep it cool. The very bottom is fun with narrow track and <br />
some tight turns near drop offs where you don't want to blow it. A full on <br />
creek crossing and you are almost down. If you didn't park right at the <br />
trailhead a 3 minute ride takes you to the Genoa Bar for well earned adult <br />
refreshments. A highly recommended way to end your ride. The bottom <br />
trailhead parking is on Centennial Dr. Park there and the trail is up the dirt <br />
road to the west.

Directions

From the town of Genoa drive north a short ways to Centennial Drive. Turn <br /><br />west and drive up until you either: see the trail head parking sign, OR, <br /><br />surmise that the cars you see parked there are blocking the sign from view. <br /><br />Either way, find a place to park alongside the road. The trail begins a short <br /><br />ways up the dirt road to the west.
