First SOTA Activation of Tamarack Peak, Washoe County, Nevada - Ace Number 3.


The reference to Aces is because of this mountain's proximity to Reno / Lake Tahoe (Nevada side) & proximity to gambling casino's.


This is a trail & scramble hike up to summit of Tamarack Peak, 9,897 feet elevation.  Trail is about 9 miles round trip, combined with first SOTA Activation of Mount Houghton on same day, with 2,000 feet +/- elevation gain.


The views are amazing!: Reno, Nevada; Carson Valley; Lake Tahoe region and northern Sierra Nevada mountain range.
