November 28, 2020Dog friendly trail. We did cross country skiing
November 20, 2020A Winter Wonderland on snowshoes!!! Thanks to All Trails we stayed mostly on the trail but one detour actually lead us to a peak with amazing mountain views! We really want to come back and see it in the Summer.
November 12, 2020Not much to see, just treading through the woods in the snow. Easy to get lost in the smaller trails.
November 7, 2020It is a nice flat trail. If you hold seeds in your hand during the winter birds will come and eat from it

September 20, 2020September 20, 2020September 10, 2020September 9, 2020Nice hike it’s all downhill to get to the lake and all uphill on the way back. Lovely day out, about five hours round-trip taking it easy
September 8, 2020Lovely hike. Alternating sun, shade, wind, bring layers
September 6, 2020Mostly flat with small elevation changes. Great for dogs and kids. Mostly shaded, a bunch of streams for the woofus’s to drink from. Overall a good time.

August 26, 2020Beautiful
August 26, 2020This elevation, close to the top of the Mt. Rose highway, is more than 1000 feet higher than Lake Tahoe, so the forested sections were lovely and cool. Some wildflowers even in mid-August. The longer loop, 3.2 miles, is relatively easy the entire way.
August 23, 2020This was a lovely, shaded trail and not busy (possibly due to the smoke from the California fires right now). It stayed surprisingly cool during our hike around the loop with pretty bits along the creek as well through the trees. Other hikers were friendly and parking was easy.
August 22, 2020Very steep for last 2 miles to lake. But beautiful terrain. Gorgeous meadows, flowers, lots of creek water.
August 21, 2020Very nice
