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.
- UNR DH is a descent only: berms, jumps and whoops up top, and steeper, rockier black-diamond features lower down. Inspect features first and walk anything beyond you. Never ride it uphill.
- Reno Vista is also ridden downhill only here. The finish on the Rancho Connector Trail is a short climb back to the trailhead.
- At the bottom of UNR DH the route touches the Upper N Trail for a few yards; stay on the cue sheet, as the N Trails are expert-only.
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 "Wolf Pack Drop 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.
