Hiking/Mountain Biking

Caughlin Ranch in Southwest Reno has over 17 miles of walking trails along ponds and creeks. You can start at the intersection of Plumb Lane & McCarran Blvd.

The River Walk trail runs alongside the Truckee River from Idlewild Park, through downtown, and out to East Sparks. It ends near the intersection of McCarran Blvd. & Greg Street (seven miles).

Peavine Peak is a very popular spot for all outdoor enthusiasts. Hiking, biking, atv, and four wheel drive paths criss-cross from the base to the top at an elevation of 8,266. Mount Rose is also a good place to hike in the summer. The peak of Mount Rose is at 10,776 ft., a real "Iron Man" hike. For more information on Peavine/Mt. Rose, call the Carson Ranger District at (775-992-2766).

One of the most popular mountain bike areas in the entire nation is the Flume Trail. Thousands of hikers and bikers use this historic path over Tahoe's ridgetops, which was once a log flume that supplied timber from the lake to Virginia City for the mineshafts. Call the Spooner Lake State Park at (775-831-0494).

By far the best hiking area, the Tahoe Rim Trail is 150 miles of trails winding around Lake Tahoe along the mountain peaks. Now just 10 miles short of being finished, hundreds of volunteers have constructed the path, and are involved in the upkeep. For more information, call (775-588-0686)

Skiing/Ice Skating

With 17 ski resorts, the best views and over 150 lifts, it's no wonder Tahoe is #1. Squaw Valley was home to the 1960 Winter Olympics, and recently added a Funitel High speed lift. Mount Rose is a favorite of the locals, since it is only 20 minutes from downtown Reno.
