Michelle Daly-DeSchryver loves to hike in her free time. She lives in Reno, Nevada, where there are plenty of amazing hikes in the nearby mountains. As a freelance photographer, she particularly loves to bring her camera on hikes so that she can take pictures of the beautiful natural surroundings. With so many hikes nearby in the Reno area, it can be difficult to choose the best ones. Here are some of Daly-DeSchryver’s favorites.
Mount Rose is located just ten miles south of Reno in the mountains, and has incredible views of Lake Powell that have provided Michelle Daly-DeSchryver with many great photography opportunities. There are also beautiful scenic spots full of pine trees and even a waterfall. Although it is a full day hike, spanning ten miles, it is very pleasant with only a few switchbacks near the top.
For an easy quick hike that she can take with her children, Michelle Daly-DeSchryver enjoys Tahoe Meadows. This is located near Mount Rose, but is a short one-mile loop that is full of beautiful foliage and even some animal wildlife. If you’d like, you can make the hike a little more difficult by heading up a hill towards the end to take in some mountain views.
Diamond Peak is another trail in the same area that is widely considered a favorite by local hikers. It is a full-day hike with only moderate difficulty, and crosses through beautiful woodsy scenery to the stunning views at the peak, where you can take in Lake Powell.
