Muscle Powered's Saturday Hike after Thanksgiving to Pinyon Hills Trail in Carson Valley
Ready to hike off that Thanksgiving feast? Come join Muscle Powered for a Late Fall Hike to Pinyon Trail in Carson Valley, south of Carson City. This gently rolling 5.2 mile intermediate hike provides majestic views of Carson Valley, Job's Peak and the beautiful surrounding mountains.
Pinyon Hills Trail was built by the Carson Valley Trails Association and is a "hidden gem" in the hills southeast of Gardnerville.
To carpool to the trailhead, be ready to leave at 9 a.m. at the north end of the Target store parking lot on Jack's Valley Road. Here is a link to the CVTA website where you can find further information about this trail as well as directions right to the trailhead. Go to https://carsonvalleytrails.org/pinyon-trail/. If you wish to meet at the Pinyon Hills Trail trailhead, please be there by 9:30am.
Closed-toed shoes, snacks and water are required. Dogs are not allowed on this hike.
We will cancel by 7:30 AM that day if there is significant inclement weather. Please check the MusclePowered website calendar, our Facebook page, or check with Jo Foster at 319-504-3309, jf.praire@gmail.com; or Larry Marinel at larryamarinel@gmail.com, if you have questions. Hope to see you on the trail!
