Keystone Canyon Trail

Keystone Canyon Trail is an easy out-and-back mountain biking route in Nevada's Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, within the Carson Ranger District. The trail is about 1.1 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 289 feet, and it ends at the same point it starts, so the round trip adds up to that figure. The climb rises from about 4,921 feet to about 5,033 feet, with the steepest stretch at about 0.3 miles in, where the grade reaches 8%. The most comfortable months for riding are late spring and early fall. 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 other routes and climbing. The Keystone Bike Trail, Keystone Canyon and Keystone Loop all lie within about 0.2 miles, and Keystone Boulder is close by for climbers.
