The Plumas Backcountry Discovery trail is but one of the routes that comprise the greater network of California Backcountry Discovery Trails.  The Plumas BDT is based in the heart of Gold Country in the northern Sierra Nevada.  This region of the Sierra may not see as many visitors as other places like Lake Tahoe and the eastern Sierra, but don't let that fool you!  Lusher and more heavily forested than the mountains to the south, the Plumas BDT is full of hidden secrets, great campsites, and fantastic views.
