Junction with the trail to some nearby campgrounds and the TRT. 1 1/2 mile to the peak.

A nice view of the Carson Valley from the trail.

And, courtesy of a switchback, an equally nice view across Lake Tahoe over to the Desolation Wilderness.

The TRT approached Peak 8992 and then countoured its western slope. (8992 looked to be a more interesting destination than the developed summit of Snow Valley)

I had noticed this on Monday- there was an early season fire burning across the lake in the vicinity of Rubicon/Meeks Bay.

Marlette Lake and the Snow Valley forest road soon became visible in the valley off to the left.

The trail gradually climbed above the treeline as the summit approached and I started looking for an appropriate place to turn and scale the summit.

I turned upward near the point where the TRT passed closest to the peak. (I downed half a bottle of Gatorade before tackling the ascent and paid for it with a water cramp halfway up)

Up on the summit plateau, a bit over 9200ft. Like Genoa, there were TV/radio structures on the summit. (Unlike Genoa, these were solar powered)
