High Sierra ATV Tours

Sierra Touring Company

Sport utility vehicle owners take note!  Plumas County has plenty of well-maintained, unpaved forest service roads that lead to lakes, look-outs and picnic sites.  The roads access some 1.2 million acres of public land that can keep intrepid explorers happy for days on end.

The Plumas County Visitors Bureau has developed brochures featuring four popular backcountry road adventures, designed with SUV's in mind. 

If you're looking for more rugged off-highway adventure, head for one of the 4X4 routes, staging areas or campgrounds developed specifically for off-highway vehicles.

The Plumas National Forest visitor map is available for sale to help guide off-highway users. To avoid fines, stay on designated roads and trails.

 

High Sierra ATV Tours,  (800) 596-8840, offers guided rides to scenic destinations near Frenchman Lake throughout the year, including fall and winter. The company, based out of Chilcoot, also rents ATVs for unguided trips. They also rent jet skis (in summer) on trailers that visitors can take to the lake of their choice.

 

Sierra Touring Company (530) 832-5450 offers 2 - 3 hour guided tours in Sierra Valley (part of the Diamond S Ranch) from the valley floor to the slopes of Beckwourth Peak with a  BBQ included.
