Stagecoach Trail

Dogs Off-leash

Shooting firearms is illegal here, and for good reason. It is a heavy recreational area, and shooting is dangerous to hikers, runners, and bikers. Illegal shooting should be called in to the Washoe County Sheriff's nonemergency line at 775-328-3001, option 2.

Begin at the Hoge Road Trailhead. Start up the road for less than 100 yards past the radio tower control building on the right. Total Recall will veer left; continue on with the hill and radio tower on your left. The Stagecoach Trail sign will be on your right.

The trail ascends through a rocky, dry stream bed, crossing over 4x4 roads. At a rise and road intersection, the trail slants left, then combines with the 4x4 road for a short ways. A slight descent will bring you to an old abandoned Suburban that has been used for extensive target practice.

About halfway up the next hill, the trail splits off to the left and switchbacks up, crossing the road several more times before topping out for a short level bit before it ends in a T with Total Recall. There is a bench there.
