Galena Falls (Mt. Rose Wilderness)-Conditioning Hike

Beat the heat by hiking high in the mountains this evening!
Hike from the Mt. Rose Trailhead to the Galena Creek Falls and return the same route. Come and explore some great views of Lake Tahoe, Washoe Lake, Tamarack Lake and a stunning cascading waterfall in the Mt. Rose Wilderness area.
We will be hiking at 9000 feet, so come prepared for temperatures in the 60's.
Moderately difficult due to the altitude., distance (5 miles) and slight 500 ft elevation gain. DL. Dogs limited.
