8. Bieber to Alturas

BIEBER TO ALTURAS – 91.2 MILES

Just a few miles from Bieber, take a quick spin up Snag Hill Lookout (6,073’) as you meander through more evidence of past forest fires via beautiful gravel roads and brilliant red chipseal. This section is filled with stunning wide-open vistas as you blaze through undulating gravel and two-track roads through the high desert landscape. Over the river and through the woods to Alturas you go!

Cross the beautiful little Ash Creek with plenty of great camping options and check out Manzanita Mountain (7,036’) before making your way to this historic town. If you prefer supernatural company over your riding friends, plan a stay at the Niles Hotel, rumored to have a ghost who resides in a room on the second floor.
