North Bike Trail is a short, easy hike in the Carson Ranger District of Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest in Nevada, managed by the Forest Service. The trail is about 0.8 miles long, with a total elevation gain of about 9 feet, and it makes an out-and-back route. The surface is natural, and bikes are allowed. 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 trail sits among a cluster of mountain biking routes. Tabletop Run and the Open Pit Loop are each about 0.1 mile away, and Keystone Canyon Trail is about 0.2 mile off. Climbers can find Basque Boulders about 0.4 mile away.
