Randonnée - Autumn Walk Donner Lake - Sat. Sept. 28th, 2024

Inspired by the success of April's Walk for Peace (Bougez pour la Paix), the Alliance Française de Reno is organizing a series of casual walks (Randonnée) for all ages and fitness levels. These hikes will take place in our beautiful surrounding areas, promoting a healthy lifestyle and fostering community spirit.

Join us for this exclusive nature walk at Donner Lake Memorial Park, led by our Board Member and passionate hiker, Mavis LePage Leathley.

Event Date: September 28th, 2024  

Time: 10:30 am to approximately 1:30 pm, including time for a BYO (Bring Your Own) picnic lunch AND beverages.

Donner Lake , a historical landmark, is located in the scenic Sierra Nevada mountains 30 minutes from Reno and 20 minutes from Lake Tahoe.

We will be walking the Split Rock Trail which is approximately a 2-mile walk.  There are some slight elevation gains, but not too difficult.
