Sierra Trek is the granddaddy of the California Association of 4 Wheel Drive Clubs (CA4WDC) events. It has been held in the Tahoe National Forest near Truckee, CA since 1966. But in 2007, due to a record drought and wildfires, the Tahoe National Forest closed all 4x4 trails, forcing the cancellation of the event. In 2008 and 2009, the event was moved to Cisco Grove, just west of Donner Pass on Interstate 80. The Cisco Grove base camp was adequate but not as popular as the traditional base camp at Meadow Lake. In 2010, Sierra Trek returned to Meadow Lake.
The base camp included the registration and T-shirt booths, a vendor exhibit area, a dining area and showers. Like Jeepers Jamboree on the Rubicon Trail, the registration fee for Sierra Trek includes meals with the great trail runs; however, the Sierra Trek registration fee is much lower because the entire event is run by volunteers.
