Nevada State Parks announced that the Park to Park Pedal Extreme will return to Kershaw-Ryan State Park on Oct. 8.
Cyclists will enjoy miles of scenic beauty as they ride along Nevada’s first Scenic Byway, Highway 93, and peddle past the 1920s mission-style depot in the railroad town of Caliente and through the historic mining town of Pioche. The tour winds through four of Nevada’s beautiful State Parks: Kershaw-Ryan, Cathedral Gorge, Spring Valley, and Echo Canyon, and includes breathtaking views of Meadow Valley. The tour is capped off with a hearty Dutch oven feast at Kershaw-Ryan State Park.
