Fourth day of my Lake Tahoe trip. I would be snowshoeing to the summit of Mount Rose today. At 3285m elevation, it’s the highest mountain near Lake Tahoe in Nevada (third highest overall). It ended up being a grueling day hike from dawn to dusk, but I made it.
Third day of my Lake Tahoe trip. I decided to snowshoe to Rose Knob Peak on the Nevada side of the lake today.
The second day of my 2021 Lake Tahoe trip, I ended up snowshoeing to Maggies Peak, followed by a brief tour of Emerald Bay State Park.
The first day of my 2020 Lake Tahoe trip, I chose to snowshoe to Roundtop Peak from Kit Carson Pass. While I had hoped this to be a warmup for the next few days of exploration, it turned out to be much more physically demanding.
Christmas 2020. I decided to spend a few days snowshoeing in the mountains around Lake Tahoe. This is the outbound flight segments where I flew American from Dulles to Reno.
Mid-December, 2020, heavy snow fell in the Washington DC region. With not much snow during the previous winter, I was looking for some winter fun this time, and I chose to hike Cat Rocks trail in Cunningham Falls State Park.
Another beautiful autumn weekend when I set off to West Virginia in search of nature colors. I opted to hike Chimney Top on Saturday, spent the night camping around Spruce Knob where I star-gazed with the darkest sky in the mid-Atlantic region. On my return Sunday, I hiked High Knob that straddles West Virginia and Virginia.
October 10, a beautiful autumn weekend when the mountain colors were the most dramatic of the year. My friend and I headed to Northern George Washington National Forest for a feast of this vibrant autumn scene.
A weekend of hiking to South Shenandoah with my friends, in the middle of September at the tail of summer.
After spending a week visiting Alaska, this post was about the flights back to Washington DC from Anchorage, with an overnight connection in Seattle.
