Where were we this week? Tahoe Meadows

 

Tahoe Meadows is a piece of Heaven on earth, less than 30 minutes from Reno (or from Incline Village - depending on which direction you're driving). The preserve has a parking lot at its south end and roadside access on the north end. Be cautious as Mt. Rose Highway (SR 431) is busy. In winter four-wheel drive with snow-tires or chained vehicles may be required.

 

The parking lot can be tricky to see from the road but watch for the USFS sign near a set of rusty gates. The parking lot does have a bathroom, but the north access does not. There are no other services, so be sure to allow for snacks & water – and rapid weather changes. Leashed dogs are welcome in all areas.

Walking Davis Creek Regional Park

 

This week’s hiking spot is Davis Creek Regional Park in Washoe Valley, south of Reno. It took me roughly 20 minutes and there is a paved parking lot.  Some of the trails were closed due to fire restoration. Check out status on the Washoe County Parks Site for updates. Directions and a directory of other parks are also on this site.

 My new book in the Thaelia's World universe, "Soul of Steel and Fire" will be available on January 31rst. You can pre-order it as an ebook, paperback, or hard cover.

It is the story of Sir Aumery of Faucione, the hard-knocking knight we first met in "On the Trail of Yesterday's Rose".

I hope you like it. You can pick up any of the previous books via my author website on Amazon.
