More info on the Hunter Lake Road Jeep Trail:
First off, this is Lightning Dragon's FIRST project that he shot completely. All of the primary camera footage was captured by a 6 year old!
The crew took on the Hunter Lake Jeep Trail after work a few weeks ago. This trail starts right outside of the Caughlin Ranch neighborhood in south west Reno Nevada and is an easy day or half day trip. But it's NOT an easy after work trip.
The road out from Big Meadow is LONG AND BUMPY. Like amazingly epicly bumpy. I recommend you turn around and head back out the way you came after seeing the beautiful Big Meadow.
Vehicles on this trip:
Our 1999 3rd Gen 4Runner
Jeep JK Unlimited Sport
Jeep JK Unlimited Rubicon
The road bisects the Mt. Rose Wilderness area which spans the greater part of the high ridge of the Carson Range from Tahoe Meadow on the south to Reno on the North. The Hunter Lake Road is cherry-stemmed into the wilderness area. Cherry-Stem roads are not uncommon and represent a compromise between wilderness preservation and motorized access.
How to find Hunter Lake Jeep Road
The road is shown on the Forest Service map though it isn’t labeled. The road designation is FR 392 and is signed as such, though only once you get up out of the congested area above Reno. There is potentially some challenge finding the route as trails and roads criss-cross all over down there. Best shot is to start at the end of Pinehaven Dr. follow the main route west up the mountain from there.
What to expect
As it winds up from Caughlin Ranch and enters the evergreen forest of the Carson Range, the Hunter Lake Jeep Trail is basically easy. You should have no trouble getting any SUV with real 4×4 up it. Crossovers with traction control, and decent clearance could also make it, though slowly. Subarus, like this one, might also make it. Down low on the trail the major obstacles are loose climbs with alternating pot holes and ruts. These are the holes like at 2:10 in the video where you see the front driver side tire of my 4Runner come up. There are a few spots where this will happen. Traction control and lockers can help, as can picking a better line.
Higher up the trees thin out and the trail it becomes rocky and there is one spot in particular where you see me having trouble getting up. That was probably a bad choice of line as well, but with the locker on it had no trouble. I don’t believe there is a bypass for this. Once you get to the top of the ridge and leave views of Reno behind, the road enters a dense forest and winds through the trees.
Alternate Routes
There are many alternate routes signed along the way. These are out and back spurs and loops off the main trail. They are signed 392a, 392b and so on. I have not explored or mapped them though I would like to some time.
Hunter Lake and Big Meadows
Totally hidden, and more or less anonymous and unknown to most people who live in Reno, even those who, like me, felt they had done a lot of exploring in the area, are the beautiful wild Big Meadows and Hunter Lake.
These days neither is much of a lake. I’ve heard and read that 10 – 20 years ago it Hunter Lake was occasionally a lake in the spring melt, but now it is just a meadow. There is a turnout and kiosk there, but not much else. It is a beautiful pristine spot however and is worth stopping to walk around and have a snack.
As you continue on from Hunter Lake the going is rough. REALLY ROUGH. There are some small obstacles, though no real challenges. But it is a long haul out to Big Meadows. The aptly named meadow is shockingly large given that it sits atop a mountain you probably always assumed held nothing but bear poop and scraggy rocks. There is a defunct timber dam through the meadow that makes an interesting hike. This is a great place to stop for exploration and lunch, should you be smart enough to nit be going through at 9 PM on a week day. Both Big Meadow and Hunter Lake were originally man made to provide water for saw mills in the area.
Getting back home
My recommendation is to turn around at big meadow and head back the way you came. It’s shorter and more fun.
If you want to make a loop out of it, head out the west end of the meadow where FR 392 Ts into FR 462. Turning left on FR 462 will take you across into the Bronco Canyon burn area. There might well be a way out, but the main route is gated at the property boundary near the log cabin on the Truckee river near Floriston. Heading right on 462 takes you past Cone Peak and a microwave relay station before descending Garson Road to Interstate 80 at Boomtown.
Garson road is not a challenge, per-se. It is brutally long and bumpy though. You’re probably thinking, “how bad could it be?” Trust me man, it’s bad. It will take 2 – 3 hours from Big meadow to get back to I-80. The first time we did it it was a rainy Saturday afternoon and was quite beautiful.
Hunter Creek Falls - Nevada
My brother and I hiking to Hunter Creek Falls just outside of Reno, NV. in the Mt. Rose wilderness area. It's a beautiful hike. It is a little over 3 miles to the falls from the trailhead. Roughly 7 mile round trip. It's worth it! Enjoy!

Reno, Nevada Brush Fire 6-22-17
Hunter Creek Fire in west Reno burns 240 acres; crews reach 35 percent containment
RENO, Nev. (News 4 & Fox 11) — Crews are responding to a brush fire that sparked Thursday afternoon near Hunter Creek Trail, according to the Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District.
U.S. Forest Service crews on Friday morning assumed control of the Hunter Creek Fire, which broke out at 1:49 p.m. Thursday, June 22.
Truckee Meadows Fire and the U.S. Forest Service were previously in unified command for the brush fire, which was reported south of Aspen Glen Drive and west of Plateau Road. The Nevada Division of Forestry also responded to the brush fire.
Fire officials on Friday said the fire has burned an estimated 240 acres. The original reported size was 250 acres before it was downgraded to 50 acres earlier Thursday.
Crews have reached roughly 35 percent containment as of 8:05 a.m. Friday, according to the U.S. Forest Service.

Reno is a city in the U.S. state of Nevada, located in the western part of the state, approximately 22 miles from Lake Tahoe. Known as The Biggest Little City in the World, Reno is famous for its hotels and casinos. It is the county seat of Washoe County, in the northwestern part of the state. The city sits in a high desert at the foot of the Sierra Nevada and its downtown area (along with Sparks) occupies a valley informally known as the Truckee Meadows. It is named after slain Union Major General Jesse L. Reno.
Reno is the third-most populous city in Nevada after Las Vegas and Henderson and the most populous city in the state outside the Las Vegas Valley. Before the late 1950s, Reno was the gambling capital of the United States, but Las Vegas' rapid growth, American Airlines' 2000 buyout of Reno Air, and the growth of Native American gaming in California have reduced its business. Older casinos were torn down (Mapes Hotel, Fitzgerald's Nevada Club, Primadonna, Horseshoe Club, Harold's Club, Palace Club), or smaller casinos like the Comstock, Sundowner, Golden Phoenix, Kings Inn, Money Tree, Virginian, and Riverboat were either closed or were converted into condos.
Because of its location, Reno has traditionally drawn the majority of its California tourists and gamblers from the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento, while Las Vegas has historically served more tourists from Southern California and the Phoenix area.
Several local large hotel casinos have shown significant growth and have moved gaming further away from the downtown core. These larger hotel casinos are the Atlantis, the Peppermill and the Grand Sierra Resort. The Peppermill was chosen as the most outstanding Reno gaming/hotel property by Casino Player and Nevada magazines. In 2005, the Peppermill Reno began a $300 million Tuscan-themed expansion.

Back in October Rocket and I went on a quick day trip out to Virginia Peal with our friend Billy from the Explore Nevada Channel. Check him out on Instagram too: @explorenv.
Virginia Peak is a high point in the Pah Rah range north east of Reno bordering the city of Sparks and Spanish Springs to the west and the lower reaches of the Truckee River at Pyramid Lake to the east.
The route we took went up Piute Creek to just below the summit of Virginia Peak. There may be more adventurous routes, but this was a good one to start with to get the lay of the land. The easiest route is Microwave Road which is a good dirt road the whole way. There is a dirt road that seems to lead back down to the Pyramid side of the range and that will be a fun expedition next time we go out there.

Hunter Creek Falls Ambient Sound
It took four hours and nearly utter exhaustion to get to this waterfall, and it was totally worth it. This is at the beginning of fall, so the water is low. Where my camera sat would have been in water during the spring.
After such an arduous journey, it seemed only right to share its cool, calming waters with the world.

Alum Creek Trail | West Reno, NV
I haven't explored the Reno riding area too much but managed to get out on my last visit home. Found this trail labeled a red pro line on Trail Forks so I decided to give it a go since it was pretty close to my moms house near Caughlin Ranch. The climb up is mostly 4x4 road and the trail head was hard to find because of all the pine needle litter. Overall it has some potential if some trail work was done but I had a hard time making it flow the way it was. Either way, a day on the bike is better than a day not on the bike!
