A New Mountain Festival

Sitting around a fireTrailfest is a fundraiser for SBTS, and proceeds from the event will benefit Connected Communities, SBTS’ legacy project to connect 15 mountain towns via a 550-mile multi-use singletrack trail. The project is already well underway, with various trails under construction or in the environmental review process in Plumas, Sierra, Lassen, Butte, Nevada Counties, as well as Washoe County in Nevada. The initial work has been funded largely through government grants, but completing Connected Communities will require significant fundraising and volunteer labor hours.

Building Trails and Community

Mountains to Meadows is all about bringing the community in to be a part of what we’re building—to help out on the trails, to meet other like-minded folks and to enjoy the recreation opportunities we have here in Quincy with a big end-of-season part, filled with good trails, good times and good people! Find all the details on the event at quincymountainstomeadows.com. For sponsorship opportunities, reach out to marty@sierratrails.org.

Festival passes range in price from $50 per person for trailwork volunteers to $149 for all-access weekend passes and $699 at the top end for a limited number of VIP passes. Kids under 17 are free, and passes include tent camping for the weekend.
