Genoa Loop Trail
Details
Carpool from Galena Junction Shopping Center 9:00 AM
Hike starts from Mormon Station Historic State Park 10:00 AM
Genoa Loop is about 8.2 miles long and over 1,500 feet elevation gain and loss. Great views of the Carson Valley with scattered mostly Jeffrey pines and a waterfall along the way. We will hike this trail counter clockwise.
Dogs welcome but must be on a leash when at the trailhead or in a residential area. This hike is considered Moderately Strenuous because of the distance and steep climbs.
Carpooling

Hiking boots and poles are recommended. Dress in layers as it may start off chilly. As always, bring water and snacks to keep yourself hydrated and energized.
