Editor’s Note: Due to COVID developments, Sierra Trek has been cancelled.
The 53rd Annual Sierra Trek, which takes place on the shores of Meadow Lake, is officially on for 2020, August 6-9.
The Sierra Trek is one of California’s most well-known OHV events, with over five decades of family fun in the history books. It was originally held in 1967 as a Jeep trip and barbeque, but the Sierra Trek now welcomes all four-wheel-drive rigs, from stock to highly modified.
Guided rides are offered to everyone. Consider the overnight or historic runs if you have a non-modified vehicle. Looking for something more challenging? Signal peak and the historic Fordyce Trail are sure to please (to participate in the Fordyce ride you’ll need 35-inch-minimum tires and at least one locker). There are even guided ATV/UTV rides.
Attendees who make the journey to Summit City, a reconstructed 1860’s mining camp, will get to enjoy beverages at the Wild West Saloon, feed their whole family at the chuck-wagon-style kitchen, and kick up their heels at the dance hall which offers two nights of live music. Other activities include a manufacturer midway (dozens of vendors), vehicle show, RC races, and kids’ games. And when you’re ready to take a break from the trails, hop in a canoe on Meadow Lake, cast a fishing line, and enjoy the alpine scenery.
On Saturday night, there will be a raffle offering more than $30,000 in gear from BFGoodrich, 4Wheel Parts, ARB, Raceline Wheels, Warn, and dozens of other vendors.
