The construction of 1.2 miles of trail reroutes east of Tahoe National Forest’s White Cloud Campground are now complete, restoring connectivity of approximately 15 miles of the Pioneer Trail between Lowell Hill and the Harmony Ridge Market.
The Pioneer Trail is a multi use, non-motorized, cross-country trail. It is over 20 miles long and goes from the Harmony Ridge Market to near Spaulding Lake where it ties into the Spaulding Lake Trail. Due to Caltrans’ Highway 20 Omega Curves Project, sections of the trail have been impacted by road construction. The remaining 2.3 miles of reroutes to reconnect the trail in the Lowell Hill area are planned to be completed by Fall 2026.
The Pioneer Trail is also a part of the planned Pines to Mines Trail, which once constructed, will span 72 miles and connect the communities of Truckee and Nevada City.
