🏈 The Pack is back—and football season is coming home to Northern Nevada! 🐺💙

There’s nothing quite like fall in Reno: cooler evenings, silver and blue everywhere, tailgates with friends and the roar of Wolf Pack fans filling Mackay Stadium.

Nevada kicks off its 2026 season at home against Western Kentucky on September 5, followed by another home matchup against Montana State on September 12. The Pack returns to Mackay Stadium on September 26 to face Air Force, giving local fans three chances to cheer from the stands during the opening month. View the 2026 schedule: https://nevadawolfpack.com/sports/football/schedule

Whether you’re a lifelong fan, a proud alum or simply love the energy of game day, now is the time to find your Wolf Pack gear, plan the tailgate and get ready to cheer!

At HomeGate Realty, we believe some of the best parts of calling Northern Nevada home are the traditions and experiences that bring our community together—and Wolf Pack football is certainly one of them.

Who’s ready for kickoff? Drop a 🐺 in the comments if you’ll be cheering for Nevada this season!

🍂 Crisp air, incredible views and miles of adventure—September is a great time to experience Northern Nevada from two wheels! 🚵‍♀️

As the summer heat begins to ease and the first signs of fall arrive, these Reno–Sparks area mountain biking destinations belong on your riding list:

🚵 Peavine Mountain
This expansive trail system just north of downtown Reno offers options for beginners through advanced riders, along with classic high-desert terrain and sweeping views of the Truckee Meadows. Keystone Canyon and Total Recall are two popular routes to explore.

🌄 Sierra Vista Bike Park
Located in northwest Reno, Sierra Vista features bike-specific trails, technical elements, pump tracks and routes for multiple skill levels. It also connects with the larger Peavine network for riders who want to keep going.

🌲 Dry Pond Loop
Want to trade the desert landscape for towering trees? This approximately six-mile loop connects portions of the Thomas Creek and Whites Creek trail systems. Be ready for a steady climb followed by a rewarding descent—and remember to watch for hikers, runners and equestrians.

🐎 Hidden Valley Regional Park
With approachable routes like the Perimeter Loop and Highland Trail, plus the more demanding Backcountry Loop, Hidden Valley offers something for several experience levels. The views toward Mt. Rose and the Carson Range are a beautiful bonus.

🏜️ Los Altos Trail Network
Sparks has its own high-desert adventure waiting nearby. Los Altos offers challenging climbs, exciting descents and wide-open views, with routes including Zipper West Loop and Jackrabbit.

💙 Flume Trail
For a true bucket-list ride, head toward Lake Tahoe. The iconic Flume Trail pairs elevated riding with spectacular views of the lake. Portions of the Spooner backcountry may be affected by 2026 construction restrictions, so check current conditions and access information before you go.

Before every ride, check trail conditions, carry plenty of water, wear a helmet and stay on designated routes. If a trail is muddy, give it time to dry—and always practice good etiquette on shared paths.

One of the best parts of living in Northern Nevada is having this much adventure practically in our backyard. Which trail is your favorite? 🚲

🏡 Reno isn’t one real estate market—it’s a collection of distinct micro-markets, each offering a completely different way of life.

A citywide statistic can’t tell you whether you’ll love the energy of Midtown, the character of Old Southwest, the amenities of Somersett, the newer homes of Damonte Ranch, or the extra breathing room found in Spanish Springs.

Before choosing where to buy, look beyond the headlines and compare what will shape your everyday experience:

🚗 Your actual commute
🌳 Lot size and usable outdoor space
🔨 The home’s age and potential maintenance needs
🍽️ Walkability and neighborhood amenities
❤️ How well the community fits your lifestyle

The “best” Reno neighborhood isn’t the same for everyone. The right one is the micro-market that works for the way you actually live.

Our latest blog explains how to compare Reno-area communities with clarity—and avoid falling in love with the right house in the wrong neighborhood.

Outside, multiple patios and terraces wrap the home in true indoor-outdoor Nevada living — morning coffee under the trees, evenings entertaining under the stars. All less than half a mile from Caughlin Athletic Club, trails, parks, and shopping.

At HomeGate Realty, the question we hear most often from buyers isn't "what's the Reno market doing?" It's "what's this neighborhood like to actually live in?" And those are two very different questions. Reno isn't one market. It's a patchwork of micro-markets — Midtown, Old Southwest, Caughlin Ra...
