From Reno to Tahoe- State Route 431 (SR 431), commonly known as the Mount Rose Highway, is a 24.4-mile (39.3 km) two-lane highway in Washoe County, Nevada, that connects Incline Village at Lake Tahoe with Reno. The highway, a Nevada Scenic Byway, takes its name from Mount Rose, which lies just off the highway. Prior to 1976, the highway existed as State Route 27.

Davis Creek Regional Park, 20 miles south of Reno in Washoe Valley, offers a variety of recreational opportunities. The park is in a stand of Jeffrey pines, right at the transition zone between where the open Great Basin desert ends and the Sierra Nevada forest begins.

Ah Venice, spectacularly beautiful and truly unique. Everyone should visit this amazing city once in their lives and spend several days exploring the narrow streets and getting completely lost. Try and avoid the over-priced tourist eateries and do what the locals do - pop into Venice's bacari for cicheto and ombra (a small glass of wine).

This was a 2 night backpacking trip to Sentinel Peak up Surprise Canyon with two nights in Panamint City, Death Valley National Park.

We took the 11-year-old Scouts on this hike to see the petroglyphs above Richfield, UT.

This trip report is from http://dyeclan.com/outdooractivities/hiking/richfieldrockart/. See http://dyeclan.com/outdooractivities/ for hundreds of other fun things to do in Utah.

We tried to take the Scouts through a non-technical slot canyon called TOTGA (The One That Got Away). However, when we got to the canyon top, we realized that the canyon was too difficult for our group. So we returned the way we came and instead explored Betrothed Canyon and several of the Cohab Canyon side canyons from the bottom.

We decided to do Cassidy Arch Canyon to see if it was appropriate to take the boy scouts on. Turns out it isn't a good canyon for scouts, but it is an awesome canyon and a whole lot of fun.On the trip were Jeremy Dye, Ray Schofield, Tracy Nielson, and Zac Nielson.We got to the trailhead at around 10:00 and finished at 2:45 for a total trip time of 4 hours 45 minutes.

One of my favourite corners of the Cape, with caves, nooks, crannies and indigenous forests to explore.....

These two canyons are named after a large conglomerate cliff in the second right-hand tributary to Cottonwood Creek and a large conglomerate boulder field in the third right-hand tributary to Cottonwood Creek. A coworker recommended these canyons to us.We drove as far as we dared (2WD on a muddy road) then pulled over and parked on the side of the road.We soon came across three lime kilns.

Excellent ride on a spring like day through Forest Park. We mostly stayed on the trails, but off roaded a few times. Experiencing parts of the park we've never been to was exciting. A couple of things:1) The off road trails are a delight to ride. 2) The old tunnel under 64 to the football fields is gone. lol3) The ice rink was fantastic.
