The 3-mile hiking trail in the Wilson Canyon area near Reno, NV, planned since 2005, is now open to the public.
The trail is on the south side of Wilson Canyon, southeast of the Walker River bridge. It begins at the trailhead situated at the parking area at the west end of the canyon, traverses over the ridge to the east, runs north back to the river and then along the river to the east. From there, it travels east and south, eventually looping back to the parking area.
The trail is situated entirely on United States Forest Service Land.
Hikers should expect a moderately demanding hike where they will, in places, find it necessary to negotiate rocks and steep but short climbs.
I am Jeff Clark, founder of Internet Brothers, producer of this blog, and passionate about hiking. My regular hiking companions have designated me the lead hiker, so I suppose that makes me the slowest Meanderthal. I live in Western NC near the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains. Pisgah and Nantahala National Forests are just out my door, so the content will focus on these areas, but let me know what you would like to see on the site.
