Mustang “Loop”

10.2 miles | 280 ft | gravel

Description

This ride is a great way to take in typical Northern Nevada scenery – lots of sage brush, wild mustangs and the Truckee River with you the entire route. This ride follows along trails graciously made by the Tahoe Pyramid Trail and the Nature Conservancy but avoids some of the rockier sections. It’s best in the summer & fall but the low elevation means it can be done in the middle of winter, presuming it’s a dry day.

highlights

  • Pretty ride, especially in the fall
  • Lesser frequented trail

lowlights

  • Some overgrown & sandy sections

verdict

  • Recommended
  • Difficulty: Intermediate but only due to some sandy sections
