Hiked both loops of the trail late afternoon in October. Perfect in 60 degree weather but would not recommend during the summer. Walking trail is rocky, with elevation changes, all sun. Lovely views. Enjoyable 55 minute hike/walk without a lot of company on the trail.

Great place to go for a walk, run and bike ride. During the summer I can get very hot as there is zero tree coverage. Best to go in the morning are late afternoon if you want to avoid the heat. Trails are great for dog walking as well. Parking is easy and hardly too busy. Also only 10 minutes from Midtown Reno.

A great new addition to the trail network. This trail now connects to the creek trails, terminating on Timberline. If you are starting at the Ballardini trailhead and heading south, you are climbing pretty much the entire way. The initial couple of miles are quite a tough climb with switchbacks, the rest of the climb is not as steep. Very, very rocky on the older Ballardini trail. A bit less rocky on the newer Sierra Front section that was recently finished. I enjoy this ride, just have to be prepared for a rather difficult first few miles.

Great trail for a weekend hike or bike ride. There are 2 different trails. One about 2 miles (loop) and the other close to 6 miles (out and back). Nice views and good variety of elevation with some shade the further you go out.

Nice mountain biking trail once you get past the switchbacks. And connects to the newest trail above timberline, that part is much smoother and a lot less Ricky all the way through timberline.

Sat and played backgammon under the shelter. Beautiful view and babbling brook. Nice hike. Hidden gem. Bathrooms😁

Super easy hike that makes you feel like like you’re in the middle of nowhere. The path can be a little rocky but super peaceful trail.

This trailhead offers two loop trails (about 2.5 miles total) with stunning views of the Reno skyline and springtime flower blooms. There is a pit toilet and covered picnic tables at the trailhead. The park is equestrian friendly and includes parking accommodations for horse trailers. Note that there is no water available and during the summer season the trails are hot and dry.
