About Mountains to Meadows Trail-Fest

Four Days of Adventure on Trails, Live Music, Shenanigans and Camaraderie in the Lost Sierra

Mountains to Meadows TrailFest has something for everyone in the family—camping, live music, a gamut of mountain adventures, trail building, adventure films, food trucks, a beverage garden and, of course, a few shenanigans mixed in for good measure, like Pixie Bike World Championships.

Dig

Held at the Plumas-Sierra Fairgrounds in Quincy, TrailFest is four days of good times and camaraderie, based around the love for trails that bring us all together. Dig new trails alongside the SBTS Pro Trail Crew on Mount Hough, and be a part of the next phase of development on Quincy’s crown jewel trail network.

Play

Sign up for hikes, mountain bike rides, e-MTB rides, or gravel rides led by seasoned locals or head out on a solo adventure. The evenings are all about camp vibes, live music, good food and gathering with friends new and old. There are also sweet raffle prizes, morning yoga classes, an evening roller skating session and tons of other fun lined up all weekend long.

A Benefit for Trails

Your M2M entry supports our internationally recognized non-profit organization, Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship, that builds and maintains multiuse trails. Thanks to our partnership with US Forest Service – Tahoe, Plumas and Lassen National Forests, more than 176 miles of multiuse trails have been built and more than 2,302 miles of trail maintained for public enjoyment by SBTS since we began in 2003.

Proceeds from all three SBTS events – Lost and Found Gravel Grinder, Downieville Classic, and M2M – feed back into SBTS to help fund trail building and maintenance. Our events are fundraisers to create privately funded – and wickedly fun – high alpine trails that dart through the forest. Participating, you’ll be enjoying some of our fine singletrack creations including the thrilling Mount Hough Trail descent and the challenging climb up Indian Falls Ridge 2.

Learn all about our new project, Connected Communities and the Lost Sierra Trails Master Plan, bringing 500-miles of trail to Northern California. We appreciate your support!
