Tahoe Meadows

I asked around Incline Village about good hiking.

Tahoe Meadows and Mt. Rose was suggested.

The vista point on Rt. 431 is worth a stop.



I parked off the highway just past the Mount Rose summit.


Next, found the Tahoe Rim Trailhead.


Right away I had a wildlife sighting. Strange for a Great Horned Owl to be out in daylight:



A young sapling basked in the morning light:



There was a mysterious set of tracks. Later determined to be a hare.

The Tahoe Rim Trail passes through a meadow:

Followed by switchbacks up a hillside of Manzanita:















It was a clear day.

The view from the summit was clear across Lake Tahoe.

I could see all the way to California.



I relaxed on the boulders and took in the view.


This was a good spot for a picnic.


And posing for panoramic photos.
