Originally, we'd planned to hike up to the top of Mount Tallac this day. However,
we decided that it wouldn't be enjoyable to hike Tallac on one day and Rose on
the next. Besides, all of us except Phil had already been to the top of Tallac
before. So while I definitely want to revisit the top of Tallac and its beautiful
summit views, that will have to wait for another year. Instead, I pored over more
maps and guidebooks before settling on a hike along the Tahoe Rim Trail north of Spooner Lake.
After the hike we drove up Highway 28 back to the cabin. Leslie and Phil headed
back to the Bay Area while Jean, Jennie and I remained to prepare for our hike
up Mount Rose on the following day.
My weather radio and the Weather Channel had the same forecast for Monday -- clear
in the morning, partly cloudy in the afternoon with a slight chance of
thunderstorms. Not exactly what I wanted to hear, having been chased off the
summit of Tallac by thunderstorms 2 years earlier. So we committed to an early
start in the hopes of being off the summit well before any possible thunderstorms.
