Situated on the east side of the Sawtooth Valley, the White Cloud Peaks are an extremely underrated part of the region. This loop has all the majesty of anything else anywhere. From some mild Class 3 travel over the Devil’s Anus, to miles upon miles of bomber singletrack, you’re bound to have a ton of fun no matter your pace. Lakes, peaks, basins, and valleys abound, as does both forest time and alpine time. Truly a loop for the ages.

This route connects two iconic Reno landmarks: the Arch downtown on Commercial Row (perhaps the most well known Reno landmark) and Peavine summit. Peavine mountain is incredibly popular for training year round when heavy snows blanket the mountains to the south closer to Lake Tahoe. At 8,269 ft (2,520m) it is one of the most dominant features of the Reno area. This route connects the peak to the Keystone Recreation Area and Rancho San Rafael, which is a frequent access point the the trails on the mountain. Rancho also serves as the start and finish line for the Silver State 50/50 races.

Description

This route begins at the summit of Mt. Washington (6,288'), the highest elevation in the state, and ends at the lowest... Hampton Beach, sea level. Dubbed- Clouds2Sea. This route is nearly 115 miles down the state of New Hampshire and was initially done as a fundraiser for a dear friend who passed away too soon. Although more time is spent on the road than trail, you have the glory of starting above tree line at over 6,000 ‘, and get to take in the beauty of the iconic presidential range as you descend.
