Natural History Wanderings

 Carson Pass Information Station has a new update

What a beautiful day it was up at Carson Pass today! Silver Lake is officially snow and ice free, well the lake is, the campsites are another story! Caples is melting, but there is still quite a bit more ice than what my dam photos are depicting… However you can see that there’s quite a bit of pollen dancing around!

Our friends at Caltrans, District 10 came and visited and repainted a bit!

Trail Report: South Bound towards Winnemucca there is still approximately 4 feet of snow on the ground in some areas. A skier said they skinned-up at our station and never had to take off their skis the entire way up (and down). It’s not clean snow, and it can be crusty in areas as well. North Bound towards Meiss looks like it’s melting quickly, but I didn’t receive any first hand accounts for that side today!
