Trails Hiked

Mount Rose was a great glute workout. Near the top the trail splits giving you the option of a shorter, steeper trail or a longer trail. i choose the shorter trail up and the longer trail on the descend. At the summit I spotted a trail of mountain goat footprints but no goat. I also hiked Mount Ellinor. I couldn't quiet make it to the summit because I lost the trail. I'm hoping that the snow melts soon so I can try again.
Did you find this trip report helpful?

Comments

I was wondering when you encountered snow? Did you begin at the upper trail head or the lower? I actually want to ski Mt. Ellinor July 5th and was hoping there was still substantial snow. I'm wondering when the snow begins after the trail head. Any ideas? Thanks.
