Lake Winnemucca from Carson Pass - August 16, 2014
A spectacular hike through pine forests and open landscape to photogenic Lake Winnemucca. We're starting at 8500' with an elevation gain of 600'. We expect to see some beautiful wildflowers, lovely Frog Lake, and awesome views of Caples Lake in the distance. This 5-6 mile round trip is located off highway 88 at Carson Pass Information Center. Around mid afternoon we'll arrive at the nearby Kirkwood Inn that was built in 1862. The Inn has a varied menu at reasonable prices.
