California Pigeon Derby
Test your birds on one of the toughest courses in the country—flying from the Nevada desert, over the Sierra Nevadas, and through the Tahoe National Forest to the California Foothills. It’s rugged terrain, harsh elements, and all for a chance to win a year’s supply of tacos.
