Reno & Tahoe East Mountain Bike Trail Conditions
Reno and the east shore of Lake Tahoe pack a huge amount of riding into the eastern Sierra and Carson Range. Peavine and the foothills above Reno dry early, while the Tahoe Rim Trail, the Flume Trail, and Mount Rose climb high into granite and forest that hold snow into summer. The dry Great Basin climate gives a long lower-elevation season, with a late melt-out up high.
