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, deer, 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.

Directions 25 miles north of Truckee, Calif.

Go north from Truckee on California Highway 89 for 25 miles. In Sierraville, the firehouse is a half-block east of the intersection of Hwys 89/49. Parking is on the street.

Additional Information

The 62-mile route starts at the Sierraville firehouse heading west toward Sattley, turns north on A-23 to Beckworth, goes east for 2.5 miles on Hwy 70, then back into the center of the valley toward Loyalton, and back down historic Hwy 49 to Sierraville. 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. The 30-mile route follows the gentle curves of Hwy 49 toward Loyalton and back.
