Trail Report

Jeff Moser | February 22, 2010

The weekend of February 20th brought a big winter storm to the Carson City area. Surrounding areas received up to a foot or snow or more, but strangely enough, the storm seemed to mostly bypass Carson City. We got up on the Ash Canyon trails on Monday to check the conditions. Here’s [...]

Ash Canyon Trail Report

Jeff Moser | February 5, 2010

Snakes on a Trail

Jeff Moser | October 17, 2009

The cooler temperatures have triggered many snake sightings in the Carson City area. Almost everyday for the last couple weeks, I’ve heard mountain bikers mention seeing them while out riding. The snakes have been out basking in the sun, often in the warm dirt of the roads and trails. Here are a [...]
