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.
