Tamarack Peak - South Ridge - Snowshoe

What better way to make room for all that yummy junk food on Super Bowl Sunday than to hump it up Tamarack Peak the day before!

Starting from the Mt. Rose summit parking lot this very scenic intermediate aerobic ascent of Tamarack Peak is approximately 3.5 mi round-trip with 950' of gain and provides hikers with great summit views of Lake Tahoe, the Tahoe Meadows, Mt. Rose and panoramic views of the surrounding peaks.

• What to bring
Snowshoes & ski poles, dress for winter conditions. Water, and a snack.

Snowshoe rentals available from Nevada Adventure Rentals, https://nevadaadventurerentals.com/outdoor-equipment-rentals and Galena Sports Ski & Boards @ 16795 Mount Rose Hwy.

Will arrange car-pools from Beer NV or you can meet at the Mt. Rose summit parking lot. If meeting at the summit, please let me know. Also, everyone will need to sign off on the RTA Liability Waiver.

If conditions turn out worse than the current forecast or road access is compromised, we'll look to reschedule.
