New Favorite Pioneer Mountain Bike Trail Map, above Nevada City California

Pioneer Trail above Nevada City


New favorite trail:  Pioneer Trail above Nevada City!

It is a mild ride and well marked from where my wife, teen son, and I started: White Cloud. There are many other parking areas to access this trail system. Check out the Hallelujah Trail as well!

The trail is marked with these tags and stakes at trailheads where one system meets another. Easy to follow.

We started right off of hwy 20 outside of Nevada City. We used the Forest Service station higher up (White Cloud campground) about halfway between NC and hwy 80. We will start closer to NC next time, like the Five Mile House area/deli/Scott’s Flat stopping point. I want to check out trailheads closer to NC in the future to make for a long ride.

We did an out and back. Once before, I did a loop, but broke my chain with no tools. Don’t go to the road if you have issues. Follow the dirt back! Truckers are crazy close!! 14/15 miles of trail from a few miles outside of Nevada city. Could make for a 30 mile dirt ride.

Nevada City sits at 2500 ft. Hwy 20 rises from there. Don’t know the elevation points along the way, but I felt good on the ride, as in no elevation gain issues, which I can have at times.
