If you plan to ride on the "Rez" trail section, you must have a valid day-use permit for riding it from the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe at plpt.nagfa.net/online/.

Description

The trail through the Pyramid Lake Paiute Reservation from Wadsworth to Pyramid Lake was developed by the Tahoe-Pyramid Trail in cooperation with the Tribe. It is 24 miles mostly of compacted dirt, with two fence stiles that must be climbed over.

The gradient of the "Rez" trail is has a lot of "up and down" elevation changes which may be more than some hikers or cyclists are accustomed to. For those not wanting to ride all the way to Pyramid Lake and back, a popular option is to ride from Wadsworth to the Numana Hatchery and back (17 miles total).
