Trail Description

This route offers a beautiful walk or ride to Kyburz Flat through high desert, Jeffrey Pine forests and meadows.  Kyburz Flat proper offers several neat things to check out:  The ruins of a stage coach stop with an ADA Accessible Boardwalk and interpretive signage, a Native American petroglyph and grinding stone site, and a large playa lake in the spring.  The lake has no fish, but has birds galore.  To get to Kyburz, walk ahead on the dirt road.  You’ll know when you arrive! The dirt road continues for many miles to Stampede Reservoir for additional options.
