Want a peaceful outing in the country not too far from Reno? Carson Valley and its towns of Minden, Gardnerville, and Genoa are just what you’re looking for. We happen to live here, so we know first...

Not all of our volunteer opportunities involve the hard labor of trail building. We need folks who can help with a wide variety of tasks that keep an all-volunteer organization going. Hope to see you on Tuesday, October 12th.

Carson Valley colors are going off. Beautiful day for a hike and surprisingly few people out on the trail.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.

As a simple reminder.PLEASE stay out of the forest. We just had a discouraging call with the Forest Service fire crews as it sounds like there have been a number of bikers getting up into the burn areas trying to check out trail conditions. They've had to pull firefighters off the line to try and help law enforcement find these folks. This is still an active fire and huge safety issues arise from the hazards of an active fire and dangerous conditions from falling trees and hazards.![]()

Spread the word. We do not need additional delays in restoration of the trails and forest. ![]()

Trail users, please be aware of the following forest closures from 8/22 to 9/6. This affects the Tahoe National Forest and LTBMU. Should not impact Carson Valley trails as long as you stay out of the basin (top of Sierra Canyon and Clear Creek). Regardless of where you recreate, please be aware of the extreme fire danger and recommendations against outdoor exercise when air quality is poor. Link to USFS announcement:![]()

Video of the day: We got up at 5:30 a.m. to take a sunrise walk at the River Fork Ranch Nature Conservancy in Minden, yesterday morning. What a gorgeous place. I have a thing for hummingbirds, so I had to try to get this little guy on video. In the background, you hear the call of sandhill cranes. As we walked, we watched the cranes dance, and also got to witness a calf's first steps. So grateful to live in a place where we can spend a morning experiencing something like this.

Photo of the day: It's not just people, dogs, bicyclists, horse-riders, and mules sharing the trails here in Nevada. While hiking the Pinyon Trail in Gardnerville one day, we got a surprise! He was super friendly, and lost interest in us as soon as he realized we were not packing any pony treats.
