This trail segment has a mix of dirt trail, shared road, paved bike paths and bike lanes for traveling. The trail follows along I-80 and passes through the small towns of Hinton, Floriston, Fleish and Verdi. This trail ranges from easy to moderately difficult due to several switchbacks, dirt trails and some steep climbs.
As you get closer to Verdi one fun side trail that can be taken is the Steamboat Ditch Trail.
Some challenges along this trail will include several gate passings, stairs and washed out trail along the dirt section.
