The Lakes Basin 5 Bucks a Foot has ended. We’ll be back in a few days with a winner!
One lucky donor will win a Stay & Play package that supports local Basin businesses, including highly coveted lodging: two nights at the boat-in Cabins at Gold Lake, two nights at a cabin at the premier Gray Eagle Lodge, and one night at Bassett’s Station. All proceeds help our crew continue maintaining the trails that make the Basin so special—work we’ve been doing for more than 20 years in partnership with the Plumas National Forest.

SBTS Trail Crew Finishes the New Acorn Grotto Trail on Mount Hough
The Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship Pro Trail Crew reached a big milestone last week, punching through the new 3.6-mile Acorn Grotto trail on Mt. Hough to connect with the 25N14 doubletrack Quarry Road, about halfway up MT. Hough (See Trail #10 on the map), after several years of work. The crew is now working to finish Trail #8—when that’s opened, it will establish a new top-to-bottom singletrack route from Indian Falls Ridge at the 7,200-foot summit of Mount Hough and a new Yuba Expeditions shuttle option to boot: 17 miles from summit to the swim hole!
