Silver Back

Closest Major City: Tahoe City

Distance: 6.00 miles (9.65 KM)

Description:
This is for DH's only. It's a goat trail, but tons of fun. The upper section is steep and super technical. Mid section smoothes out a little and the bottom is fast and smooth.

Directions to the trail:
Many ways to get there. Your ultimate goal is to get to the Tahoe Rim Trail above Nordic Center which is Located above Tahoe City. Once you are on the Rim Trail head towards Mt. Watson. The section of The Rim Trail that you are searching for is between the gravel road ( TNT, it travels from Tahoe City to Truckee) and Mt. Watson Once the rim trail starts to "highway out", fast and straight, look for the SilverBack on your right. Its about a 6 minute ride from the gravel road.
