A missing Washoe Lake


Leaving Lake Tahoe, we headed toward Washoe Lake State Park. After paying our $7 entrance fee, we discovered the lake was mostly dried up.

Trail to Beach sign, but there is no beach

What is left of Lake Washoe can be seen in the distance.

As we walked the path to the non-existent beach, we came across drifts of grass seeds that would billow up in the wind. We had a great time watching them.

We then headed to Reno. After checking into our hotel, we took a shuttle to the Grant Sierra Resort for dinner at their buffet before crashing for the night.
