The Erica Greif Memorial Bikeway is a multipurpose, off-street path paralleling Veterans Parkway, also known as the Southeast Connector, which connects Reno to Sparks. The walking and biking path was named for Erica Greif, a University of Nevada, Reno student and cycling enthusiast who died in 2015 in a car accident on her way to a California bike race. Sun protection is your friend as there is no shade to obscure the desert sun, but there are benches where folks can rest if they need to.
There is no dedicated parking for this trail.
Love this trail! Views of wild horses and detached from traffic, wish we had more trails like this!!
I rode this path with a friend recently (she’s experienced, I’m a beginner) and we both had a good time! Nicely paved, a few slight hills, and decent length.
I just got a bike and rode this path with my cycling-experienced friend. We both had a good time, explored both directions when the path forked closer to Sparks, and appreciated how well the path was maintained. Fairly flat—a little more hilly on the way back (toward S. Reno), but great overall!
Easy trail with wide open views. Well maintained for one small area that needs some goat head bushes trimmed. Nice benches at several points to take a break. No shade, except under one bridge, so be prepared if it’s summer. We ended up on several nice bike/walk paths in housing developments on the southern end that took us back to our motel off 580. Easy For families with kiddos.
