Hiking!

Been way too long since I've updated the blog. Mary and I have been doing some great hikes in the Sierra. Some new places and some old favorites too.

On our way up to Reno for a doctor's appointment we hike Horse Creek out of Twin Lakes above Bridgeport.

Incredible cascades along the way.

The view back towards upper Twin Lake.

Mary, Matterhorn Peak, and a butterfly.

More splendid cascades.


The next day, before our appointment, we hiked a short section of the Tahoe Rim Trail south of the Mt Rose Highway.

We did a little cross country hiking to get up to a high ridge.

Which provided views back toward Tahoe Meadows and the trailhead.

and fine vistas of Lake Tahoe too.

Lunch rock. Still a fair bit of snow on the north facing slopes here.


Our next outing started out at South Lake which was brimming full.

We first visited Lake Marie Louise.

Bristle loved it!

 We passed this pleasant meadow on our way over toward Bull Lake.

Placid Bull Lake with Hurd Peak in the background.

Chocolate Peak

The trail back.

It's been terrific to get up in the high country!
