Another fall weekend in Reno
I can't believe how blessed I am to live in this area - this is truly America's Adventure Place! This weekend was another fun fall weekend. We hiked Snow Flower Peak on Saturday with a friend. We drove to Timberline Road, then followed the dirt road all the way up to Thomas Creek and started our hike at the Mount Rose Wilderness trailhead.
We were planning to do the entire hike to the trop of Mount Rose, but since we started at noon, we soon realized that we wouldn't have time to make it all the way up.
But reaching the top of Snow Flower was perfect! The view of Boca and Stampede on one side, and Reno on the other - was incredible! And again, the fall colors... just so beautiful!
We drank mate (green tea from South America), relaxed and enjoyed the beauty of the Sierras. Of course, we finished the hike in the dark - but it was so worth it, we didn't mind it at all!
On Sunday we went mountain biking and took some friends with us who haven't done much moutain biking -- so we took it easy. We had a blast! We did the Whites Creek-Thomas Creek loop again. I just can't stay away from this trail -- it's the coolest single track only 15 minutes from my house! Here's a picture of our group:
This is me pretending to be working hard...
And this is my friend Carolina, smiling at the camera:
