First Hike of the Year

We are getting a mixture of teaser weather....wicked wind and cold, then bright, sunny, high 70 degree days.  Sunday was the latter and we decided to take advantage of it and set out on our first hike of the year.  We headed to Washoe valley and started hiking at lake level up Deadman's Creek trail.  It was a gorgeous day.
At the top of the hill there is a gazebo that looks out over the lake and you can see all of Washoe Valley.  We decided it was a bit easy, and decided to keep going.  I was hoping to see more wildflowers, but sadly they decided it wasn't warm enough yet.
They view was pretty much the same the higher we went, but it was still beautiful.  If you look hard you can pick out the tiny gazebo below where we hiked from.
It was a nice taste of sunny days to come...we hope.
