DESCRIPTION

This is a beautiful single-track, nearly flat run along the old flume trail that ran from Mount Rose to Tunnel Creek. Unlike the southern half of the system, the famous Flume Trail reached from Spooner Lake, the northern flume is pretty much only known to locals. We run approximately 3 miles out to Diamond Peak Ski Area before returning the way we came.

Dog friendly, including a creek to drink from about a mile in.

Bushes are the only rest areas here.

Take SR 28 towards Incline Village, NV. Turn Right onto Country Club Drive in Incline (shortly after the Ponderosa Ranch). Take Country Club Drive until it ends at Mt Rose Highway. Turn right and drive up Mt Rose Highway for about 4 miles. About a mile after the large scenic overlook on the right, you'll see a large parking/chainup area on your left. Park there and carefully cross the highway to the trailhead, slightly downslope from your car.

If you're coming from the Galena side of Mt Rose Highway then you'll come to the Tahoe Meadows about 1/2 mile west of the summit. Drive past the meadow and continue down the road until you see a large chain-up area on your right. Park there and carefully cross the highway to the trailhead, slightly downslope from your car.

We usually carpool from Round Hill Safeway.
