The operation was very well organized (Downieville Outfitters). The shuttle is the way to go, and the trails are endless.

A great area for mountain biking.
Reviewed By mini - Fremont, California
We went to Tahoe National Forest after the mid November 2015 storm snow. Its so great to see the pines covered in snow. A nice drive is on highway 80 to see them, but best is to get off the main road and see them up close.
We've been to Tahoe National Forest many many times. Its great all seasons of the year from snow play in winter to fishing, hiking and biking in the summer.
At one of the rest stops is a mining exhibit.

Reviewed By Grenville F - Ruckersville, Virginia
Have you ever seen a public Gallows? One like this was last used in 1884 in Sierra County. It is displyed outside of the old jail. We were told by a tour guide that the only women to be hung in Sierra County was kept in this jail and hung from a gallows like this. If you are in Downieville, stop and see .
