Randonnée - Hike - McCarran Ranch,
Sat. May 17th, 2025
We had a nice walk along the river! This half-shaded, half-exposed, 5.7-mile hike with barely any elevation gain should be perfect at this time of year with tender green foliage, some wildflowers, birds, possible spotting of wild mustangs, and of course gorgeous vistas!
Update on Hugo, the courageous 3-year old Doberman who join us for this hike as he was recovering from an abdominal surgery a few weeks ago (he swallowed a tennis ball!).
The next day, Hugo slept in until 10 a.m. on Sunday, and even refused to get up for breakfast!

Randonnée - Hike: GALENA TERRACE LOOP TRAIL - Sun. Feb. 23, 2025
We enjoyed this 3.0-mile loop trail near Washoe Valley, Nevada. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 1 h 45 min to complete (stops not included). This trail is great for birding, hiking, and running, and it's unlikely you'll encounter many other people while exploring. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime.
The Chickadee Snowshoeing Loop Trail, Dec. 15th, 2024
If you haven’t been to the Chickadee Ridge in Lake Tahoe, well you missed quite a treat!
While locals know how magical this region can be, this event showcased to a wider audience the unique experience of trekking through pristine, snow-covered forests under dazzling blue skies.
Snowshoeing offers a peaceful yet invigorating way to explore the mountains, appealing to both seasoned adventurers and first-timers alike.
