Join Washoe County Park Rangers as they explore some of our area’s most scenic trails. This series is meant to provide amateur photographers and hiking enthusiasts alike with the opportunity to capture their own spectacular fall photography while learning about what make the areas unique.
Washoe County Park Rangers advise participants to bring a jacket, a sturdy pair of hiking boots, a bottle of water, a snack, and of course your favorite camera. The hikes, which are easy to medium in difficulty, will cover 3-5 miles in 1-3 hours, weather permitting. The hikes are family friendly, but please leave pets at home. There is no cost to attend.
