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…

What’s more, we plan to have over 22 miles of new trail ready for construction in 2024. This includes work on the long-awaited Pines to Mines Trail connecting Truckee with Nevada City. But we rely on you to help…
