RENO, Nev. — Organizers who've been working to create a 116-mile bike trail linking Lake Tahoe to Pyramid Lake in northern Nevada are tackling their hardest hurdle yet — the Truckee River Canyon.
The route would follow the river and Interstate 80 west of Reno up a steep canyon to Hirschdale near Truckee, Calif.
Janet Phillips, who founded the volunteer group working on the project, says the mountain stretch is the biggest missing link to finishing the project.
The Truckee River Canyon requires routing the trail through sections of two states, along a federal highway and on utility land.

Phillips estimates the 10 miles of trail will cost around $6.2 million.
