  • South Adams Peak Hike

    Our second trip to the Diamond Mountains is more successful than our first, but we still don’t quite make it to the summit we’re aiming for. We do make it to the slightly lower southern summit of Adams peak, and get a good feel for the area. We even find some snow on the north…

  • Halo Air Conditioning Run

    The wind on the return trip led Chad to scream as he approached me, “This is like a whole new sport!” The stay on the trail game. I had a ball. I think the entire run was on good single track, and we had it entirely to ourselves! I wonder why? image This outing is…

  • Tule Peak Hike

    Our friend Brian proposes a Tule Peak hike and Ann immediately says yes – it seems like the perfect idea for another day in the clear skies of our persistent high pressure system. The significant climb is graced by a soaring golden eagle, Tule’s interesting volcanic hoodoos, and a large herd of antelope. I’m interested…

  • Dry Pond New Year’s Day Hike

    We try for a peaceful New Year’s day hike and Dry Pond is just right. The sun is warm, there are a few woodpeckers cheerily tapping away, and some happy hikers as well. Ann hiking in the new year

  • Chamber Music Festival

    We attended one of a dozen concerts in the year-end Nevada Chamber Music Fesitval. It’s been a while since I last saw classical music performed, and this was a good reminder that it’s worth doing now and then. The dedication and ability of classical musicians always amazes me, and they make music that doesn’t do…

  • South Meadows Trail Loop

    I explore another Reno trail for my run today that winds through the neighborhood wetlands between South Meadows and Damonte Ranch parkways. A big dark red tailed hawk greets me near the beginning of a nice loop that turns out a little shorter than I’d hoped, but makes a pretty good route. Red-tailed Hawk This…

  • Merry Hunter Falls

    I love seeing the falls all frozen, though some muddy and icy trail is the ticket price. Well worth it! Icy Hunter Falls This outing is part of my Truckee Meadows Trails Challenge effort.

  • Hidden Valley Loop Hike

    I’m a little worried about encountering mud on these steep trails, but fortunately we find mostly snow and dry ground. It’s nice and warm at our high point due to the current temperature inversion. On our way down a perched sharp-shinned hawk almost lets us pass before flying away. Ann at our highpoint This outing…
