Valley View Trail

Overview

This trail was rerouted in 2017 due to severe erosion issues. The new reroute makes this trail longer with a couple added rock gardens and two very large and long log rides toward the bottom that are lots of fun to ride.<br><br>Park at the top of Tahoe Mountain on Deveron Way, and the trail starts to the right by the sign posted clearing between the giant houses. Climb for ~10 Minutes on tight switchbacks to a Y. From here the views of Meyers, Freel Peak, and Christmas Valley are amazing - don't miss them. <br><br>After you'd had your fill of views, take the lower trail and start the descent. The first obstacle is a large rock roll-over with a ride around option. Banked turns continue the fun as they lead down through an old section of burned trees from the Angora Fire. <br><br>Be aware, there are three main rock gardens you travel through, but each is short lived (15-20 feet). There is a banked turn that goes through a creek bed that has some loose sand in it (go easy)! The bottom section is full of fun, fast turns that flow excellently.<br><br>This trail does very well after rain, but be sure to ride early morning for a Sunrise cruise. Ride and enjoy Tahoe Mountain!

Not sure why this is described as a shuttle ride as it is just as fun as a climb. Here is part of the new reroute section.
