Evidence Trail

Evidence Trail switchback with views into Ash Canyon

The one-mile-long Evidence Trail is a staked loop trail above the Four Day Trail in the Ash Canyon Trail System west of Carson City, Nevada. It is named after the Thelonious Monk tune “Evidence” [1]. There we go again: along with the Seven Steps Trail we found another single-track that derives its name from a jazz tune. What would have Miles Davis or Thelonious Monk made of their tune-to-trail-name fame?

Evidence Trail is open to hikers, mountain bicyclists, and horseback riders. Jazz musicians.are welcome!

Like Vicee Canyon Rim Trail, Seven Steps Trail and Eagle View Trail,  Evidence Trail is a side track of Bob's trail.

In late spring, here, the air gives evidence of the many flowering tobacco brushes, which are growing on the surrounding slopes and deodorizing the environment with their spicy fragrance.
