Explore a different trail each week and don’t forget the camera.

Reno, Nevada. Oct. 19, 2016. If you enjoy hiking scenic trails, and love to take nature photography, then you will not want to miss the "Fall Photo Hikes" series.

Join Washoe County Park Rangers as we explore some of our area’s most scenic trails. This series is meant to provide amateur photographers and hiking enthusiasts alike with the opportunity to capture their own spectacular fall photography. Bring a jacket, a sturdy pair of hiking boots, a bottle of water, a snack, and of course your favorite camera. The hikes, which are easy to medium in difficulty, will cover three to five miles in one to three hours, weather permitting. Pets should be left at home, as they will not be allowed on the hikes.
