Reno From Verdi Lookout

 

Reno From Verdi Lookout 3

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.

Stampede from Lady Bug

 

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.

 Reno From Verdi Lookout 2

 

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!
