Guest Post: the View from NW Reno
I own property on the Little Truckee River approximately 15 minutes north of Truckee. I am a Real Estate Broker and photography is my hobby. My husband and I roam the countryside on our double quad taking photos of interesting places.
Verdi Look out is the origin of this picture. It was a long hot journey to the top. I (almost) unwillingly climbed the stairs to see the view and take a picture. As I rounded the Verdi Look Out, I was struck by the view I had! I was standing in California at an elevation of 8444’ viewing lovely Reno, Nevada! Wow…Reno, in my humble opinion, is the gateway to as many outdoor activities as you can imagine.
If you are wanting a short trip to beautiful lakes and fishing and boating is your desire, beautiful Stampede Lake (above) is just a short ride from Reno. I took this picture from Lady Bug road.
If you like hiking and kayaking…Independence Lake is a crystal clear lake with walk-in access. The surprising thing for people who have never visited Reno area is the variety of experiences available, as well as the access to numerous venues of activity just a short drive away! I even visited Reno by vision alone on top of a mountain!

Fly Geyser

This one came out pretty clear even with the steam. I am not sure how hot the water is but I was told someone’s dog jumped in and the owner tried to jump in and save him and died. Not very smart. I know my shoes were getting warm just standing in about an inch of water. Geysers are located by Gerlach, Nv.
The geyser was created accidentally in 1964, after a geothermal power company drilled a test well at the site. While the groundwater in the region turned out not to be sufficiently hot to be tapped for geothermal power, it did have a temperature of more than 200 degrees.
Stone Mother & Basket
Woman grieved for her other children. Woman was so sad that she began to cry bitterly. She missed her other children very much. She cried more and more each day.
One day she decided to sit near a mountain where she could look toward Pitt RIver country. She sat there day after day crying. Her tears fell so fast that they formed a great lake beneath her. This became “Pyramid Lake”. She sat so long that she turned to stone. There she remained to this day, sitting on the Eastern shore of Pyramid Lake, with her basket by her side.
This lake is north of Reno, Nevada.
