I sure don't think NPS is going to be pleased with a bunch of dudes hiking Railroad trail towards the dam with rifles and heavy packs.
Sounds fun otherwise, I'll watch for one I can make. |

Hadn't considered the start time, I wake up early naturally and forgot weekend sleep in is a thing. Open to moving back an hour or two |

Have fun guys - when I lived down south, that was a regular hike when we had kids along or people of various abilities. It would be a great baseline hike for those rucking with weight for the first time (or those for whom it may have been a while). Looks like they have improved the trail over the years with signage, benches, etc.
Here is a detailed description for those wanting to know more (birdandhike is an amazing resource for exploring NV): https://www.birdandhike.com/Hike/LAME/Railroad/_Railroad.htm Not to derail the thread - but if anyone is interested in a Northern NV Reno area hike, maybe we could start another thread. |

Couple hours out, 7 confirmed attendees.
On the fence? Come out, even without a ruck. |

Debating hitting this on saturday. My pace may be a bit slower based on my recent hikes but that could also be skewed base on the fact that my home trail has a 600 ft elevation gain in 1/4 mile and that takes me a while with stops.
Anyone interested? not sure the time, but it looks like it'll be windy. hunting season is coming up and i need to wear out the soles of my boots and my belly. also anyone in mtns edge im trying to do m w f hikes in the desert around starr ave around 4/430 PM. |
