Mt. Rose Hill Climb

Reno, United States • 13 Sep 2025

The Mt. Rose Hill Climb is a roughly 10+ mile out-and-back trail race from Mt. Rose Trailhead in Reno, Nevada, to the summit of Mt.

Rose at 10,776 feet. The course follows single-track mountain trails through National Forest lands and Mt. Rose Wilderness, offering waterfalls, alpine scenery, and views of Lake Tahoe and surrounding peaks.
