Reprised my route of last year From Elko to High Sierras, only this time I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail south from I-80 at Donner Pass. How do you know it’s a hot day in the Great Basin? No, not when the temperature reaches 105 in Reno: It does that all the time. But when it’s triple digits at 9000′? Yep, THAT’S a hot one. As the sun was going down it actually got into the reasonable range, so I did about 5 miles before it got too dark to see the trail.

Elko was charming as always.
It feels like a time warp from the late 1950’s.
