Brief Description

Ride with us through the ranchlands, meadows and historic communities of Sierra Valley in this organized tour benefiting Sierraville Fire and Rescue. Watch for hawks, yellow-headed black birds, sandhill cranes and other wildlife abundant on these headwaters of the Feather River. Both metric- and half-century routes give sweeping views over the valley from terrain that has only mild elevation gains.

The 42-mile loop turns right at Marble Hot Springs Road food stop to Loyalton (and the second food stop), where it returns to Sierraville on Hwy 49.
