The land is managed by county authorities, and the trail sits at about 4,720 feet, with no elevation gain to speak of. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. 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.
