Thomas-Creek-to-Ballardini-Ranch section of the Sierra Front Trail

The Thomas-Creek-to-Ballardini-Ranch section of the Sierra Front Trail is a 6.4-mile-long single-track trail—one way—through the Sierra foothills southwest of Reno in Nevada. It is open for walking, running, hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding. This trail connects the Ballardini Ranch Trailhead with the Thomas Creeks Trail System.

This hike will involve carpooling from the Ballardini Ranch Trail head to Thomas Creek Parking Lot. Well meet at the Ballardini Ranch Trailhead at 8:30 and take as few as possible cars to Thomas Creek. After the hike, we’ll need a couple of drivers to drive the back to Thomas Creek to get the other cars.
