## Overview:

The Jumbo Grade Trailhead is a day-use staging area for visitors setting out
on the Jumbo Grade Trail. The wide, rugged 8-mile trail takes riders from the
Washoe Lake area to the historic town of Virginia City, Nevada.

**Camping** : Dispersed camping is permitted if it is at least ¼ mile from the
trail and the trailhead. There are no amenities available outside of the
trailhead staging area.

**Vehicle Access:** A high-clearance vehicle is required. All roads are
unpaved, may be muddy, rugged, and may contain sharp debris.

**Activities:** The most popular activity is day-trip driving and riding along
the Jumbo Grade Trail to visit Virginia City. Most locals take off-highway
vehicles (OHVs) for the ride, but the trail is suitable for horseback riding,
mountain biking, and hiking. There are also a variety of scenic and less-
trafficked trails that can be accessed from the staging area.

## Point of Interest:

Where there’s a will, there’s a way. In the era of Virginia City’s peak fame,
the Jumbo Grade Trail was a busy and vital route for transporting building
materials, lumber, silver ore and gold ore.

During the Comstock Lode mining boom, this trail saw heavy traffic. Along this
winding 8-mile route, millions of board feet of lumber needed for the mines
were harvested in the Tahoe area and hauled up to Virginia City. Likewise, a
constant line of horses, mules, and wagons brought silver and gold ore down
from the mines to the Ophir Mill at Washoe Lake.

### History

  * Pre-1800s, this trail was established by local native peoples.
  * Ophir Grade: In 1860, the Ophir Mining Company developed the trail into a wagon road called “Ophir Grade”. The busy transport road connected the Ophir Milll at Washoe Lake to the Comstock mines in Virginia City. A steady stream of mule-led wagons carried silver and gold ore down from the mines, and timber up from the forests of Washoe Valley.
  * Jumbo Grade: In the early 1900s, miners at the Jumbo Mining District Camp used parts of this trail and started calling it “Jumbo Grade”.
  * Today, the trail is still called “Jumbo Grade”. The rugged and winding trail carves through the mountains, over stream crossings, past the ruins of the Jumbo Mining Camp, and into Virginia City, Nevada.

## Know Before You Go:

  * Camping, shooting, and campfires are prohibited at the trailhead/parking area.
  * There is limited shade.
  * There is no drinking water.
  * Cell service may be limited.
  * The area is a grazing allotment, please close gates unless posted otherwise.
  * Only use trails that fit the width of your vehicle.
  * Muffler and spark arresters are required.
  * Open containers are prohibited in vehicles.
  * Fireworks are prohibited.
