*NOTE* This is a fairly strenuous hike. More information can be found here - Mount Rose Peak Trail, Nevada - 4,065 Reviews, Map | AllTrails

Join fellow wildflower enthusiasts for a full day of plant exploration along the high-elevation slopes of Mt. Rose. We’ll begin at the Mt. Rose Trailhead and zip by Galena Falls with the goal of continuing upward to search for alpine specialties such as pincushion plants, buckwheats, and other lofty flora that thrive at higher elevation.

This outing is in partnership with TINS, and ideal for anyone interested in plant identification, botany, or simply experiencing the diversity of wildflowers in one of Nevada’s most scenic mountain areas.

Make sure you bring plenty of water, food and proper hiking attire! Summit temps and weather can vary greatly from starting conditions, be sure to layer!

Meetup location will be the Mt. Rose Summit Trailhead @ 8am!
