Ted's Hiking World Galena Creek Falls
Toiyabe National Forest, Nevada

September 16, 2016

Thanks, guys, for a fun and presumably productive day.

*
Getting started

*
Lake Tahoe is 3,000 feet below

*
The things one encounters on the trail

*
The white speck toward the left is a flag on the Mount Rose summit

*
Truckee Meadows (Reno Valley)

*
The cairn suggests that we aren't lost

*
The falls appear

*
Galena Meadows

*
Made it!

*
Galena Creek Falls — the nicest in western Nevada

*
The creek must be spring-fed, for there is no snow around

*
Helpful steps

*

*

*
Leaving the Tahoe Rim Trail for the Relay Peak service road

*
Relay Peak helps to get signals to and from the Sacramento Valley

*
Frog Pond

*

This is true.  The photos of me that you guys took inexplicably disappeared from the memory card, having seemingly been eradicated by a mysterious force.  I truly don't understand it.

*
Heading for the potty

*
Big Blue is splendiferous as always

*
Heading for the promontory

*
The highway reappears

*
Tahoe Meadows across the road

*
On my own for the last half-mile

*
There they go
