Connecting Truckee to Nevada City

By incorporating 22 miles of new construction with over 50 miles of existing trail, the completed Pines to Mines Trail will connect Truckee and Nevada City entirely by singletrack. It will be one of the region’s only long-distance, multi-use backcountry trails open to hikers, mountain bikers, and equestrians.


Your support will help us build the critical 22-mile 'Summit Link'—the stretch of new trail that will connect Hole in the Ground to the Spaulding Lake Trail and bring the Pines to Mines vision to life.


The Pines to Mines Trail is a transformative opportunity to protect natural landscapes while expanding access to outdoor adventure in the northern Sierra. Linking Truckee and Nevada City, the trail will unite Nevada County’s two largest communities through a shared love of the outdoors. Trail-based recreation is at the heart of our local lifestyle—and it drives tourism and small business throughout the region. With your support, we can make this bold vision a reality for generations to come.
