The Ophir Creek trail follows along the Ophir creek, connecting Tahoe Meadows to the Davis Creek Regional park. One-way this trail is about 7 miles long, with a 2,000 ft. elevation gain and is very strenuous. There are several creek crossings but only a few of them have bridges, otherwise you will need to cross by walking through the creek.
The best time to use this trail is between summer and fall when the snow has melted. Shade is intermittent throughout the trail.
Although primarily a hiking trail, mountain bikes are allowed. Please be wary of other recreationalists and yield where appropriate.
Nearby services and lodging are located in Washoe Valley, Incline Village, Reno, and Carson City.
Camping is available at the Mt. Rose Campground with reservation and first come sites.
Camping is also available at Davis Creek Regional Park.
