June 22, 2013 Tahoe Rim Tr; Tahoe Sierra, hike and scrambles

I am going to be working in the state of Nevada and eastern CA for the summer with an occasional base in Reno. I wanted to do a hike on my first day off that got me high enough to have a look around. On the advice of Aldo Leopold, of course:


After many days of much riding down among thickets of detail and box canyons of routine, it sometimes profits a man to top out (on) the high ridge of leave without pay, and to take a look around.
