Mike, you will recognize a lot of of the route I have planned as it goes on much of the VCGP route. But there is much more as my route will go to Washoe, Carson and Dayton and if you guys haven't had enough by then, then we can go to Reno as well. Time permitting. If you need gas, you can drive your Rzr right up to the pump in VC.

Mike, there is an RV park there with full hookups for around 35.00 pr night. The last time I took my TH up there in the winter, all of the tanks froze solid. We're talking low 20s high teens overnight. There is a very nice hotel called the silver land inn ( I think) that you can in unload and ride right from the hotel if you're not into roughing it. During the day not so bad. If it's snowing over the pass, cal trans will make you chain up the tow vehicle, 4x4 or not and if the trailer has brakes, they will make you chain up the braking axles. I tow mine over the pass all the time. The thing that pisses me off the most is when they make me chain up and there is no snow on the pavement. Just one more little gift from Cali. Once you get over the hill, there is not much snow but it's very cold. When the wind blows you would swear that there is not anything between there and the North Pole but a barb wire fence and it doesn't slow the wind down very much. If you're prepared for the trip, you will have a great time.

VC will be the center of the ride. One loop starts from town and goes over the hill to the west past the towers then down to the staging area at Washoe then back over the hill to Carson then back over the hill at the radio towers by Carson back into VC on the south side. We go back through town to the trails to the southeast down the grade to Dayton. We can drive right up to the Starbucks down there and get thawed out. Then back to the trails that go to six mile canyon rd , up six mile canyon about a half mile then off on the trails that go to the highlands. From there we can decide wether or not to do the 52 mile trek to Reno and back or make it another trip.

Terry, there is an empty lot just south of silver land across the street by the train museum where you can park or if your staying at the hotel, you can park in their lot and unload. The ride will begin there.

Just have to trailer RZR back to concord, work on it, put windshields back on, and replace front bushing
So it will be about a 1000 mile round trip for me, that is why its medium for me
Mccloud to Concord=275 miles Concord to VC=220 so thats 495 total one way
Happy gas is affordable

It's definitely better to take 80 from where you live. The only bad part is Geiger grade up to VC from Reno. It's just really windy. I would go 80 but it takes me longer from where I live.

Mike, the snow riding is great because they don't usually get more than 6" to a foot and it's really powdery so it will accumulate in drifts from the wind much like sand. You would swear that there is nothing between the North Pole but a barb wire fence and it doesn't slow the wind down very much. All kidding aside, just be dressed for the weather. Rhonda's uncle lives up there, so we either stay at his place or at the windham garden inn in Carson because I just use my points stay there for free. The loop that I did this weekend was only a little over 60 miles. Depending on how fast the group moves, I have another 52 miles that we could add to that to go to Reno and back. You should recognize most of today's pics because I followed the VCGP route. Except for the Starbucks. I was gonna get a pic of me going through the drive through but I'm a picky bastard about my coffee .. Lol

Sorry, I don't mean to be long winded but Terry is right, for you guys coming from the north or I 80, Grand Sierra is a great place to stay. For those of you who want to have a few beers and don't want to drive down windy roads in very steep terrain, you might want to try silver land inn, nice rooms but a little pricey. This is the off season so I'm sure the will haggle. As for the staging area, silver land is charging 5:00 for parking. We can park for free on D street, just above silver land.http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/12/12/9c4cac43a104f7fcdba586f458ea85de.jpg

I've never been to VC, and this sounds like the road in may be the kind of road I don't want to take my 39' hauler on. Is anyone planning to take their trailer/RV and spend a night or two in VC, or would I be better off to stay someplace else and make VC a day trip?

I towed my TH up all the times I went up there, I didn't find it that bad at all, before the first time I did it I heard all the story's of how bad it was, to me it wasn't any big deal a couple switch backs, I think pulling up Buckhorn on the 299 is worse , I would just do some research Barry , cause ones you get up there your going to want to know where to go.

Mike, there is an RV park there with full hookups for around 35.00 pr night. The last time I took my TH up there in the winter, all of the tanks froze solid. We're talking low 20s high teens overnight. There is a very nice hotel called the silver land inn ( I think) that you can in unload and ride right from the hotel if you're not into roughing it. During the day not so bad. If it's snowing over the pass, cal trans will make you chain up the tow vehicle, 4x4 or not and if the trailer has brakes, they will make you chain up the braking axles. I tow mine over the pass all the time. The thing that pisses me off the most is when they make me chain up and there is no snow on the pavement. Just one more little gift from Cali. Once you get over the hill, there is not much snow but it's very cold. When the wind blows you would swear that there is not anything between there and the North Pole but a barb wire fence and it doesn't slow the wind down very much. If you're prepared for the trip, you will have a great time.

This sounds like a fun ride except if it going to be below freezing during the day.
If the weather is warm enough, we would be camping with the hauler preferably near the starting point.

MrH the question was about 4x4s towing a trailer and the law says that at least one braking axle must be chained. It doesn't necessarily have to be the last axle. The towing vehicle must be chained as well. I didn't read beyond that because that was the combination that I had and they let me through every time.:)

That's good to know. I knew I would have to chain my 4x4 but thought I would have to chain both trailer axles. But I still won't go in the snow. Just can't do it with my wife. She would drive me crazy grabbing the dash constantly. Lol

We have stayed there quite a few times. Decent RV park if you like concrete. The side and rear spots are gravel/ dirt.
It's nice to be within walking distance of the casino/ bars/ restaurants. They have a driving range, so bring your golf clubs to hit balls into a pond.

I just checked the Caltrans site and you are right. Trailers with brakes only have to have one axle chained as well as one axle on your tow vehicle.
It is also required to carry chains in your 4x4 no matter what. They can refuse passage if you don't have chains.

Yah, I saw that too, something like if the conditions change to an R1 or R2. Not sure but I think it has to do with the amount of build up on the road.

What Caltrans site said is that if you are driving and start to lose traction there isn't a place to park until the conditions improve. You are supposed to pull over and put your chains on.

The long range forecast that I looked up on line showed that it was going to be clear with a high of 32 in VC that will be great if the mud stays frozen. Our elevations will range from 7000' to around 4200'.

What I hate about 50 and 80
It's Raining Chain-Up
Is those idiots make you chain up when the road is just wet with No Snow or Ice on it
It tears the road up real fast, they just redone 80 a while back and it need it again in the slow lane
I have put the chains on before and drive though there check-point, Than get about half mile away and take em-off to get over pass
Cause its raining you really, Do-Not need Chains

There will be all different kinds of utv's. My friend has a teryx and has been on all of these trails. We travel at a cruising pace. You should be fine. If you don't like cold weather, you probably won't have fun. The long rage forecast is calling for a high of 32 deg.

I've been watching the long range forecast and their saying that they might get a couple of light snow storms between now and then. I called the fam up there yesterday and they said that they only got a couple of of inches since I did the pre ride. The are expecting highs in the lo 20's this week. The day of the ride, the forecast is for a high of 30 and winds of 5 mph sunny with partial clouds. As long as the mud stays frozen.. Lol. The trick is going to be for us all to get over the pass. The forecast for the Sierra's could change several times between now and then but so far, it's looking good.
