Is one of my passions, the weather in Tahoe has been unbelievable this week touching 70f, Reno has been a record 80f. I had the itches to hike today and tried to get to a favorite hike of mine Ellis peak. Unfortunately the road is closed 7 miles below the start of the hike. We decided to hike the road ( 5 feet of snow on the road) which had been compacted by snowmobiles, although still very hard going, we managed 3 miles out in the slushy snow and just over 1.000 feet of elevation.
This is how the hike is in summer.

And here are a few shots from the hard slog today.
Looking up at the peak some 7 miles away!!!
a small stream get bigger as the snow melts in the unseasonably warm weather.
The warm weather has started some of the brush to turn color.
