Mount Hough

Between 2015 and 2025, SBTS built more than 70 miles of multi-use singletrack on Mt. Hough in partnership with Plumas National Forest and Plumas County, transforming the Quincy landmark into a recreation destination for all trail users.

Downieville: SBTS’ longest-standing relationship is with the Downieville Trail Network, where founder Greg Williams first started maintaining existing trails in the mid-1990s to support his race, the Downieville Classic. Today, our Pro Trail Crew maintains roughly 120 miles of the system trails annually in partnership with the Tahoe National Forest, and we’ve built multiple new trails including the gold-star Gold Valley Rim trail, the Sunrise trail and new Pauley Creek and Big Boulder connectors to add more singletrack into the network.

Lakes Basin: Our trail crews have been working in this magical corner of the Lost Sierra since 2005, where complicated rock work is the hallmark of the zone’s 72 miles of trail. Over the years, we’ve built rock turnpikes and towering rock staircases throughout the Basin, learning stone masonry and grip-and-hoist rock-hauling methods along the way. In partnership with the Beckwourth Ranger District of the Plumas National Forest, we have dedicated many hundreds of hours to developing new trails and rehabbing and realigned existing trails in order to keep this crown-jewel a top recreation destination in the state.
