Frank Farmer > Our route for today. We started with a loop of 6+ miles, all the way around Middle Peak. Dorothy talked us into a bonus hike on the paved trail around the summit of East Peak. A couple of people in our group also hiked up to the summit of East Peak.
Frank Farmer > Mount Rixford from Bullfrog Lake.

Frank Farmer > Mount Rose Summit Trail. Rich suggested this route for the County Hikers, but wasn't able to join us. Most guidebooks, including Tahoe Sierra from Wilderness Press, still cite the access road route, shown in black dashes. Recently, a very nice hiker-only trail (shown in red) has been completed. It is very well graded, and almost 3/4 mile shorter than the former route. We were pleasantly surprised to encounter this new trail.
Frank Farmer > Bob and Matt on Mount Hoffman Summit, 1975. Matt tried to ignore the friendly dog, which belonged to the lady in the next picture.
