Reno Earth Day 2025 will take place on Saturday, April 19 from 10 AM–5 PM at Idlewild Park in Reno, Nevada. We will be there! Email info@nvnps.org if you would like to volunteer at the booth during the day.

One of our "local secrets", this trail is located at the south east corner of Washoe State Park and winds its way up the drainage of Deadman’s Creek to a scenic lookout atop the bluff. Along the slopes we should find a fascinating mix of riparian and steppe vegetative communities. Plants of interest include Phlox diffusa, Ranunculus andersonii, Erigeron glacialis, Phacelia curvipes, Prunus andersonii, Senecio integerrimus and Lupinus arbustus to name a few.
CAR-POOLING IS HIGHLY ENCOURAGED
There is a pull-off that can handle four or five vehicles at the trail head. Some additional parking is located roughly 1/4mi to both the south and north. Those wishing to carpool from Reno meet at the Doughboy’s Donuts shop located in the South Town Shopping Center at 57 Damonte Ranch Parkway by 9:00 am. We should be on site by 9:30am.
