This is the only hiking/biking/equestrian trail on the Truckee Ranger District that is open to motorcycles. It is not suitable for ATVs (3 or 4 wheelers). This moderately difficult trail is 2.5 miles long and provides spectacular vistas of Lake Tahoe, Desolation Valley and Loon Lake. Trail provides access to Ellis Peak and Miller Lake. source: fs.usda.gov
