This was my second trip to Genoa Peak.
My first trip (on the same route with a little less snow) can be found here
8 mile, 1500ft gain out and back from the northern Kingsbury TRT trailhead at the southern end of the route. This was mostly just a quick conditioning outing as it had been ~6 months since I had been on a trail.
Viewed: 37 times.
The TRT trailhead north of Daggett Summit at Kingsbury Grade. I wasn't going to be taking the TRT today- instead heading north onto the Genoa Peak 4wd fire road. There was a troop of backpackers heading out on the TRT as I left.
Viewed: 24 times.
The early trail gave me my first glimpses across to the western side of Tahoe. Lots of snow still out there.
Viewed: 27 times.
Lots of patchy snow on the road- probably enough to keep the 4wd vehicles away for another week or two.
Viewed: 31 times.
A large field about a half mile in that had had a for sale sign in it on my trip last year.
Viewed: 21 times.
A nice view across to Fallen Leaf lake and Pyramid Peak above it.
Viewed: 22 times.
Not sure what this orange cone was indicating, but it was close to the apex of the trail before it started heading down again.
Viewed: 25 times.
First glimpse of Genoa Peak through the trees.
Viewed: 29 times.
