This week on Sierra Rec Now, host Charlie Pankey sits down with Keith Lewis, Director of Visit Carson Valley, and Josh Rudelbach, endurance runner and community voice, to dive into what makes fall in Carson Valley one of the Sierra’s best-kept secrets.

From the Genoa Loop Trail and Pine Nut Mountains to Topaz Lake’s quiet shoreline and Main Street Gardnerville’s fall festivals, Keith and Josh share how this community balances small-town charm with big adventure.

They also reveal details behind the first-ever Ferris Fifty Endurance Run, happening November 8 — a 50-mile, 50K, and 15K race designed to showcase Carson Valley’s open spaces and outdoor spirit.

Tune in for local insight, trail talk, and event highlights that’ll inspire your next Sierra adventure.
