Peavine Peak
Cappie’s Scoop: If you’re visiting Tahoe and need a break from the snow, pop on over to the Reno area and climb this peak! I did find snow here too but it was much less than Tahoe. It’s better to hike this trail when it’s not too hot because there aren’t a lot of trees. I found one tree and ran under it to play hide ‘n seek with mom. She found me!

Tips: The peak is 8,266 ft. We hiked this trail in April and found some lingering snow about one mile from the peak which was a lot of fun! This is also a popular OHV area so keep your eyes open for any whizzing by!
Directions: The trailhead is located in a residential area with free street parking on Peavine Hills Ave.
