Lassen Land and Trails Trust and Lassen Rural Bus are inviting the public to enjoy peaking fall colors along the Bizz Johnson National Recreation Trail during the annual fall colors bike ride and shuttle on Saturday, October 24, 2026. The bus will carry riders from Susanville to ride from starting points along the trail and bikes will be hauled on a trailer.
Participants should meet at 8:15 am at the historic Susanville Depot, 601 Richmond Road. The bus and shuttle depart promptly at 8:30 am. There are small separate fees for the bus ($3.00) and bike shuttle ($5 donation appreciated but not required). Exact change for the bus is encouraged.
The bus and bike shuttle will stop at Devil’s Corral Trailhead, Fredonyer Summit and near Westwood, where participants can ride or walk the 7, 15, or 25 miles back to Susanville.
Participants should dress in layers for changing weather conditions. Forecasts show morning temperatures at or near freezing, with midday temperatures climbing into the low to mid-60’s.
The bike ride is ideal for families. The Bizz Johnson Trail route is mostly downhill or flat on a smooth gravel surface. Wide-tires or hybrid bikes are recommended.
