The Sawtooth Trail, located in Truckee, California is the perfect getaway for adventurers wanting to explore its beauty and adventure. This trail leads through a majestic forest overlooking the Truckee River canyon. With an average completion time of 3-4 hours, and a length of 10.4 miles, this moderately challenging mountain biking and hiking route is well worth the effort. Along this loop trail visitors can enjoy views of wildlife, wildflowers and a variety scenery, all from beneath the shade of the forest canopy.

Pro Tip: Although the Sawtooth Trail is excellent with views to the Truckee River from the cliffs above, there are miles and miles and miles of other trails interconnected in this area. I recommend using an app like TrailForks or All Trails if you want to explore beyond the Sawtooth Trail
