Las Brisas is a moderate hike in the Carson Ranger District of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest in Nevada, about 5.4 miles long with a one-way elevation gain of 382 feet. The trail is managed by the Forest Service and is accessible, with a natural surface that allows horses and bikes. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Reno show May highs around 72°F and October highs around 68°F, while July and August average in the low 90s. The Halo Trail and Kings Row are both about 0.1 mile away, and the Las Brisas Trail is a mountain biking route at the same distance. Climbers can find Keystone Boulder about 1.2 miles off.
