Terrific snowshoeing expedition with David, Bex, and Jason. We climbed the Elephant's Back, near Carson Pass, then made our way over to Winnemucca Lake.

Frank Farmer > Obligatory Trailhead Photo -- At the Meiss Lake Trailhead, near Carson Pass on Hwy 88. From left: Jason, David, Bex, and Frank. We wanted to XC ski, but not everyone could rustle them up. So we snowshoed. I got to try out my new snowshoes!

Frank Farmer > This area, west of the sierra crest, is a fabulous, wide-open snow area. A great place to learn X-C skiiing!
