Sometimes called one of America's top MTB destinations.
Located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the tiny town of Downieville has remained active for years from mountain bike tourism. Also nearby are Lakes Basin and Mills Peak, which offer additional trails and a couple of fast descents for anyone into downhill biking.
On the bike: This bucket list location has 500 miles of trails with picturesque alpine scenery. What makes Downieville such a treat is the trail variety—ranging from easy to technical and every style in between. This makes a weekend of riding equally fun for beginners and experts. Check out the Downieville Classic, a two-day race in the summer that drops 5,000 feet in 15 miles.
Off the bike: This gold rush town is quaint and a great alternative to the hustle and bustle of big cities. Tahoe National Forest is an excellent place to hike, while the Underground Gold Miners Museum will be enjoyable for history buffs. Photography fans will enjoy taking pictures by the river, and you can head into town for pizza and ice cream when you’ve worked up an appetite.
Where to camp: Union Flat and Ramshorn.
