Sixth and final day of my Lake Tahoe trip. With most roads into Lake Tahoe still covered in snow, I confined my activities to the city of Reno for the day. I hiked a popular trail, Hunter Creek, in the morning and visited National Automobile Museum in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

The winter storm that hit Lake Tahoe region the previous day didn\u2019t cease until early this morning, so Lake Tahoe was a no-go for me today. (Weirdly, no snow or rain fell in Reno overnight.) I searched AllTrails and found Hunter Creek Trail to be a popular getaway for the locals. It started on the outskirts of Reno before making its way into Mount Rose Wilderness, following a canyon and a creek underneath. The end of the trial featured a waterfall, which in this season was beautifully frozen. The 9.3km roundtrip hike seemed like a perfect match for my morning.<\/p>\n

While downtown Reno dodged the overnight storm, as I drove towards the trailhead in a mountain residential neighborhood, there were patches of ice on the road (and at the parking lot) requiring extremely careful driving. <\/p>\n

It’s 9:46am by the time I started my hike. Not far from the trailhead was the boundary of Mount Rose Wilderness.
