]]> Pines to Mines Trail is a GO! https://truckeetrails.org/pines-to-mines-trail-is-a-go/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=pines-to-mines-trail-is-a-go Fri, 15 Mar 2024 22:36:12 +0000 https://truckeetrails.org/?p=4722 It's been a long time coming and at times we weren't sure we'd ever get to this point. But we are SO thrilled to announce that the Pines to Mines Trail - an epic 72-miles of singletrack promising long-distance adventures for hikers, backpackers, mountain bikers, trail runners, and equestrians -- is ready for construction!Truckee Trails Foundation would like to thank our partners in this project, who have helped get us nail down the alignment and get us through the NEPA process: Bear Yuba Land Trust, Bicyclists of Nevada County, County of Nevada, Truckee Donner Land Trust, and of course the United States Forest Service. The Gold Country Trails Council has also been involved in this effort. Last but in no way least, huge thanks to former Nevada County Supervisor Richard Anderson who introduced this vision of a trail connecting our beautiful county years ago and has been one of our biggest cheerleaders.
