Know before you go

  • Closed right now: the Hawk Fire closure (Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest order 04-17-26-01-06) shuts the national forest trails on this ride until 12:01 on Oct 31, 2026, unless the Forest lifts it sooner. Check the Forest's alerts page before you go, and once it reopens expect burn damage, loose soil and missing signs.
  • The easiest climb onto Peavine: Keystone Canyon follows an old road grade and Total Recall climbs at a gentle, steady pitch. A few short rocky spots in the canyon are easy to walk.
  • Turn around sooner for a shorter ride, or keep climbing Total Recall if you feel good.
  • Shared with hikers and dogs, and you may cross dirt roads used by off-highway vehicles. Ride in control and stay on the trail.

Ride smart

  • Water: plan on about 1 L for this ride. There's none on the trail.
  • Signal is spotty. Tell someone your route and your time back.
  • Emergency: call 911 and say "Recall Ramble ride, parked at East Keystone Canyon Trailhead, Reno, Nevada", plus the coordinates from Locate me.
  • Wildlife: give horses, burros and anything with horns room, and never feed them.
  • Stay on trail. Desert crust and mountain soil take decades to heal.
