Popular and fairly simple ride through Keystone Canyon, up the remains of the primary northern road out of Reno during the late 1800s. Some short rocky sections are challenging to ride for beginners and intermediates, but easy to walk.

      		 Between nice dry sections are sections of significant mud near water crossings....even saw hikers turning around. You'll pack up mud either on...

      Still pure mud. Be weeks before it’s rideable.

      Fun. Slightly rocky and riding northbound is up hill. Southbound is a good run.
