Pines to Mines (P2M) Trail:
A 75-to-85-mile-long trail route that will connect Truckee with Nevada City
Your support will help raise the $2 million needed to build the
“Missing Link” - 22 miles of new construction.
Connecting Truckee to Nevada City
Pines to Mines Trail is a 75-to-85-mile-long trail route that will connect Truckee with Nevada City, using both new 22 miles and existing 50+ mile trails. Once completed, P2M will be one of the only long-distance, single track, multi-use backcountry trail for hikers, bikers, and equestrians
in the region.
Your support will help us build the 22 new miles of construction, the "Missing Link", between Hole in the Ground and Spaulding Lake Trail.
Pines to Mines Trail is an exciting opportunity for conservation and recreation in the northern Sierra. Nevada County has two large communities, Truckee and Nevada City/Grass Valley, which are on opposite sides of the Sierra Nevada. Trail-based recreation contributes significantly to both the lifestyles of the residents and the local economies.
About
