A mountain bikers heaven. Whether you are a seasoned mountain biker or weekend warrior, there are trails for every skill level. The Sierra Buttes Trail Stewartship group has improved these trails over the years (I have been going up there for over 20 years) and it just keeps getting more fun. There is shuttle services out of Downieville to get you up to the top. The best service around for getting you back to your car. The season runs from post-snow through October depending on rain or an early winter. October 2020 was awesome with higher temperatures and dry conditions. Not a good long term forecast but I was thankful that the weekend was warm and dry.
