Delia led hikers on a 10.2 mile hike, one of the favorites of OLLI's  hihkes.  We crossed 6 creeks, saw many wildflowers, what's left of a Bull Wheel used in the late 1800's, & many spectacular views of Lake Tahoe

After a snowy & rainy 2 1/2  months, Gary led hikers on a 6.3 mile "real hike" up a "mini mountain" named Sugar Loaf Peak in Sparks....now that was hikin...

Gary then Mary led us on hikes (walks) at street level the past 2 weeks due to snowy conditions in our area.

On her birthday, Mary led hikers on a 8.7 mile hike on the paved path through the rolling landscape  of ponds, ducks & mini waterfalls of Caughlin Ranch along Alum Creek.

Mary led hikes around Sparks Marina, four times for 8, "generous"  miles.  Along the way we saw lots of birds against the backdrop of snow covered mountains on the skyline.  At the conclusion of the hike, we celebrated the birthdays of youngsters Sadie, Harry & Bill.

Gary led hikers on a leisurely, fun 6.2 mile "walk"  through the campus of UNR, under the "RENO: BIGGEST LITTLE CITY IN THE WORLD" arch, along the Truckee River, into the old Post Office, and along The Glow District before returning to  Rancho San Rafael Regional Park, our starting point. The walk included goodies:  candy canes from Gary, holiday cookie bars by Ingrid, and brownie  squares by Naomi.  This was one fun holiday hike!

Mary led all hikers on a path along The Truckee River and through neighborhoods to Crissie Caughlin Park.  Then, Naomi led half of these hikers to Idlewild Park and back to Mayberry Park, our starting point.

Delia then Gary led hikers on a cold November day, 7.7 miles along the Carson River, past the Mexican Ditch, up a mile on a sandy/beachy rail to Prison Hill overlooking the Carson Valley & surrounded by The Sierra Nevada Mountains, this time covered with snow (as were parts of the trail)

Gary led hikers on a cold, 6.6 mile,  sometimes snow covered trail to the creek.  Because it snowed the night before,  we were unable to walk across the snow covered log above to creek in order to get to the Falls.

Mary led hikers on her annual Nevada Day/Halloween hike with her & Vicky's cookie celebrating these two days day, the singing of the State song, and the  biographical story of Patrick McCarran given by historian Jim.

Delia led hikers to the summit of Mt. Rose in 3 hours, 40 minutes, passing the Mt Rose waterfall. 2.5 miles into hike. Unlike September 2020 where we were nearly blown off the slope of the mountain in frigid temperatures, today's hike was  on a sunny  day with cool temps & blue sky.  On top of the  10,766' summit we fanned & blew bubbles into the air against the magnificent backdrop of the glorious Lake Tahoe.  We also celebrated Vicky becoming the 8th OLLI hiker to crack the 2000 mile mark. Gary led us back down in a brisk 2 hours & 55 minutes.  What a great day day before the snow may blanket the summit in 48 hours.
