Land OwnerUSFS
Gentle beginner trail that meanders at near constant elevation above Incline Village. There are a small handful of short technical or exposed sections, but nothing that can't easily be walked. If you can ride the Marlette Flume trail, you'll be comfortable here. The trail is busy near the Mt. Rose Highway trail-head, so please be courteous.
This trail was completely realigned and improved in 2017/2018 through a joint effort between the Tahoe Area Mountain Biking Association, the Tahoe Rim Trail Association, and the US Forest Service.
Access Info
Access the north end of the trail from Mt. Rose Highway (SR 431) about one third of a mile uphill from the sweeping left hand 180 degree turn that supports the prominent overlook of Lake Tahoe. Although there are a couple parking spots on the south side of the highway at the trailhead, it is easiest to park on the north side about 100 ft. above the trailhead.
The south end of the trail is on Tunnel Creek Road. This steep and loose gravel road is only open to authorized vehicles.
