August 10, 8 am- Lower Galena Creek Trail- A beautiful 3+ mile hike following the creek along Callahan Park. The trail steadily and gently ascends, crossing the creek several times on well-built bridges. We will start from the trailhead parking lot just before Callahan Park. To carpool or caravan, meet at the SaveMart parking lot (along the south wall) on North Carson Street at 8:00. A twenty-minute drive on 580 will take us to Mount Rose Highway (SR 431) where we will proceed west toward Lake Tahoe. In about three miles, turn left onto Callahan Ranch Road and continue 1.5 miles to the trailhead just before crossing the creek to Callahan Park. We will start hiking at approximately 8:30 am.
