A Couple of O'nighters. Bikepacking the Pine Nuts.



Nov 2018. Posted by Doug.
1st route was 45 mi. and 5307' elevation gain involving some strenous hike-a-bike over an 8000 ft ridge.








The top


The CCC built this as a drift fence in the 30's to separate the Mason Valley and Carson Valley (grazing district) ranges. Built with rock due to the scarcity of Juniper trees at this high elevation. It is built right on the crest of the range and nick named "the Chinese Wall."





Wonderful spring

The End


2nd route was 53 mi with 5427 gain but all ridable.

Still The End
