We will be meeting to carpool at Cabela’s in Verdi (8650 Boomtown, Garson Road, Verdi, NV 89439) at 7:30am and will leave at 7:45am sharp! We will meet at our first location, Dog Valley Road Summit 1 (~39°32'56.3"N 120°02'23.3"W) at approximately 8:10am.

It will likely be fairly warm (82/48) so bring plenty of water (2L+ recommended), proper clothing and footwear, bug spray, food, sunscreen and/or hat, and anything else you might need for a 2-3 hour hike and wander.

Dog Valley is a great area to experience our native Sierra Nevada wildflowers, we hope to see a variety plant genera including: Camassia, Sarcodes, Triteleia, Sidalcea, Delphinium, Penstemon, Calochortus, Trifolium, Erythranthe, Wyethia and the elusive Ivesia aperta var. canina.
