Peavine Mountain in Reno has a special place in the heart of NNPS, many members spent hours in the field cataloging the vascular flora of Peavine Mountain and writing it up in Mentzelia Vol. 6.

Our leader for this trip will be John Weiser. Last time we had a substantial snow pack on Peavine, the summit was a virtual rock garden. The wild blown scree at the peak had Phlox condensate, Boechera puberula, Lewisia rediviva var. minor, Phacelia linearis, Castilleja chromosa, Phacelia linearis, Erigeron aphanactis and Astragalus purshii var. tinctus simultaneously in full bloom. 

Those traveling from the Carson area should meet at the Save Mart at 3620 N. Carson St.,  located at the intersection of West College Parkway and north Carson Street at 9:00 a.m. to carpool.  Our final meeting place will be at the McDonalds Restaurant parking lot located at 120 Lemmon Drive in North Reno at 10:00 a.m.  After meeting up, we will carpool to the summit of Peavine at about 10:15. Expect to have stops on the way up and down for flower sightings. The unpaved road to the summit is generally a good one but bumpy; four-wheel drive vehicles suggested but not required. Our route to the top can be found HERE.
