Evening Conditioning Hike — Washoe Pines

About this event

Get in shape after work with an evening conditioning hike at a brisk pace. Discover trails and learn about nature and geology around the Truckee Meadows. This week we will visit the rare, and seldom seen Washoe Pines ([Pinus washoensis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinus_washoensis)), halfway up the eastern slope of Mt. Rose at 7500'. Parking is limited at the TH, so we will carpool from the meeting place. This hike is not for beginners: there is a stream crossing of the rushing Galena Creek, and the trail is steep and gnarly. Bring water and wear hiking boots. 4 miles. Elevation gain up to 1000 ft. Moderately difficult. ND (No Dogs). Since this is a Sierra Club hike, we ask you to sign our liability waiver at the trailhead and donate $1 to help cover First Aid Training for all our leaders.
