This trail is a mix of shared road and designated bike path travel. It weaves in and out of multi-use paths and beautiful parks throughout downtown Reno. You will follow the Truckee River along the entirety of this trail segment and even pass by some amazing rapid parks. The trail takes an abrupt end at the Union Pacific Railroad in Sparks. A segment will soon be developed to connect Sparks to Mustang so users can continue their journey without issue.
The road is relatively level with little to no elevation gain or loss. There are several other urban bike trails that can be accessed from the main Tahoe Pyramid Bike path in Reno.
This segment is very popular with trail runners and walkers, so be sure to ride through crowded areas with caution. Given this segment is mostly urban, homeless encampments are present along the route.
