Description

This short but difficult trail passes through rose canyon and intersects with the V&T trail. The trail is considered moderate for mountain bikers and difficult for hikers due to the 2,700 ft elevation gain. Once you make it to the top, you can hop onto the V&T trail where you will get spectacular views of northern Carson City and the Silver Oak golf course.
