HIking and exploring day

Friday, May 10, 2024
Spooner Lake, Nevada, United States
  The exercise for the day was hiking around Spooner Lake. This is under management by the state of Nevada parks with super new picnic facilities, restrooms, and even a small gift shop. There are many crosscountry hiking trails of varying intensity. Many can be used by mountain bikers and equestrians. In the winter, there is snowshoeing annd cross country skiing,
 Some areas of our trail were under water due to the snow melt and some areas were still snow covered.  Overall because of minimal grade changes, it was considered easy.
  After hiking, we drove the short distance to Sand Harbor State Park. We found Lake Tahoe water a little too cold for our liking. An employee at the beach recommended that we drive further north by Incline Village to find the road to Mt Rose for an “awesome view” of the lake from altitude. It was worth it and we decided to continue to Mt Rose Ski Area to check it out. It was closed as expected but still a large amount of snow there and along the roadside. We watched an adventurous soul kite snowboarding in a snowy meadow:pretty amazing.
