Gray Lake Junction to Tahoe City – 30.3 miles plus .8 to town
High gusty winds came in with a vengeance during the night. It was a hilarious scene packing up this morning. One slip and gear would disappear somewhere into Lake Tahoe.
Big contrast…
After yesterday’s shenanigans in the snow where making some miles was a lot of work, to today with snow free easy trail. It was a dramatic swing.
After hiking 10 miles this morning, we sat down for a break and realized if we hiked 22 more miles we could be in Tahoe City for dinner, shower, laundry, and a warm bed. I called it plan A. I am all about having different plans, plan A, plan B, and plan C. That way if one plan doesn’t work out I am never disappointed. It works.
Plan A is was today. Moving, moving, and moving through beautiful forest. We arrived at Tahoe City just in time for dinner at Rosie’s Cafe.
I am well fed, happy, clean, and so ready to enjoy this super comfy warm bed.
I just love how being out in nature makes me so appreciative of the small things in life.
Great big smiles in all the pictures. looks like you gals are having a blast!
Lucky to be part of this hiking community. Can’t help but smile.

Young Erin did just fine, of course. HA! We all made a great team, though I do have to admit I seemed to always be a few minutes behind.
Why is it women always look like they’re having the most fun in trail pictures? What’s your secret?
Why Not says smile with your teeth. That is a secret. You can’t help but have a better day if you are smiling BIG.
MMMM, those meals make me hungry just looking at them. Enjoy your town day! -Thank you for labeling your photos. I love learning the names of the flora and clouds. Can’t wait for my trip next month.

Great pic of bear scat. I could almost….well, you know. All 3 of you seem to be happier now than day one. Bigger smiles anyway. Prime rib rare! Oh yeah.
Yes, I went for the steak. It was amazing. I finished the whole thing!

Wow you guys are really flying. My wife and I had breakfast at Rosie’s last Monday and it was pretty awesome. I recognize your table next to all the old skis on the wall. Hope you continue to enjoy the TRT experience.
We even went back and ate breakfast at Rosie’s. The food was great and loved the historical memorabilia that lined the walls.
