Scott
Peak
Difficulty: advanced
to expert. Distance: 20 miles. Vertical gain/loss +1500'/-2300'
A serious climb to 8200' up a jeep road connects to a singletrack
descent, the Tahoe Rim Trail, Paige Meadows, and eventually
back to Tahoe City.
Dirt begins at the top of Ward Canyon Road, elevation 7075'.
From here, you climb on jeep road to just below the top of Scott
Peak, where the singletrack begins. As you top out on Scott
Peak, elevation 8200', be sure to stop to take in the spectacular
views of Lake Tahoe, Alpine Meadows, and Ward Canyon.
The singletrack descent off the back of Scott Peak leads to
the Ward-Alpine fire road. After a brief jaunt on the fire road,
it's back on singletrack as you turn onto Rusty's Trail and
then connect with the Tahoe Rim Trail to descend into Tahoe
City.
From Tahoe City it's a 2 mile ride on the west shore bike path
back to Cyclepaths.
