West Side Bike Path

This is a picture of the west side bike path that connects Ash Canyon to Combs Canyon, and runs behind WNCC. Since we all use our biking and walking paths at different times of the day, it can be hard to gauge how many people use them.

Winter Bike Path

This wasn’t the case last Friday though! The numerous frozen footprints, probably no more than a day or two old, show that many people use these resources even in what most people would call the worst weather conditions!

Note: The car tire tracks in the picture are from a service vehicle that has keys to the entrances of the path.

Grant funding helps Great Basin Institute create new site

CARSON CITY, Nev. – A gateway to Nevada’s trails has just been created. A new Web site sure to appeal to Nevada residents and tourists alike offers a central location for the best and most comprehensive information about Nevada’s recreational trails.

This site is located at www.nvtrailmaps.com.

With funding from federal Recreational Trail Program grants, administered by the Nevada Division of State Parks, the Great Basin Institute, in partnership with federal, state and local land management agencies, created the on-line encyclopedia of designated motorized and non-motorized recreational trails.

Site features include:

  • Trails searches by location, length and use
  • Downloadable topographical maps
  • Trail information
  • Driving directions
  • GPS locations
  • Elevations
  • Types of recreation allowed

The site provides educational information from partner organizations such as Leave No Trace and the International Mountain Bicycling Association. It also recommends what to bring, and once you’ve arrived, how to use the trails responsibly.
