    • Reno Del Fuegos will be riding Tahoe City to Reno along the Truckee River corridor.

Trail Outlook

Near perfect! Sure, the afternoons are going to be windy and that may impact fireworks, but otherwise the heat is letting off just a little and there are no water or thunderstorms in the forecast. Keep your fingers crossed that the Rices fire doesn’t blow up and we might be smoke free over the holiday weekend. Have a great weekend!

If you get out, let us know what you saw by submitting a trail report.

Be kind, be safe, and enjoy.
