Golden Fleece is a three-mile, world-class flow trail located on the northeast side of Peavine Mountain, part of Reno, Nevada's sprawling interconnected Peavine Mountain trail system. The trail boasts numerous berms and tabletop jumps throughout its length, and some sections where riders ripping at high speeds can double things up. Technically, Golden Fleece is a two-way trail — the Carson District of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest doesn't permit one-way designations — but it's purpose-built to be ridden as a descent.
The upper section boasts the biggest features, with some jumps stretching 15 feet or more. As you continue downhill, Golden Fleece drops into a canyon where it starts going faster, and the trail narrows to give you more feel of speed, even when you're not necessarily going as fast. The bottom part drops into a steep section before swooping through a series of old mine tailing piles — a uniquely Nevada finish to a legitimately epic descent.
Golden Fleece was professionally built and is part of a larger northeast Peavine expansion managed by the Biggest Little Trail Stewardship (BLTS). The trail connects riders to the broader Peavine network, which already boasts nearly 70 miles of singletrack rideable from many Reno residents' back doors.
