Here is a pic from the top of a single track climb, with a small herd of mustangs hanging out. The single track started off fairly easy, but it got real steep near the top. I think it was hill 5681.

We had to pay attention to make the first single track climb. It was easy to lose traction in a sandy part or get knocked offline by a small rock and end up climbing up a side wall.

We made it on the 2nd try…on the 1st try we got to practice flipping the bikes around on a narrow trail.

The sandy mix on most of the track…it was more hard-packed higher up but steeper as well.

After a quick break for lunch we crossed over Prospect Hill Road and climbed hill 5459 on the south side of Dogskin Mountain. This was wide, but sandy and steep and was a power climb. I don’t think a 125 could make it, ha. Here is a pic going back down, about halfway to the bottom.

Here is a pic from the top of hill 5063, which for variety actually had some wet, loamy dirt but was rocky near the top.

We passed through the actual ‘Moon Rocks’ portion of the OHV area on our way back to the trailhead. That is the spot that is very popular with the rock crawler 4×4 crowd. We didn’t stop to check it out, but this would be a good place to test your hard enduro skills. Dave then had to take off, and I went back to explore some other turn tracks. A pro desert rider was riding in the same area and his speed was mind-blowing. Here is a shot of our basic route, not showing our path for the hill climbs or turn tracks. This is a fun area that you can easily ride your dual sport to from anywhere in Reno. I’ll be back here soon.
