| Carson River near Sorensens |
It is possible the aspen leaves have been blown off the trees ... so ... we will meet at Pickett's Junction at the restroom parking area in Hope Valley and survey our options in that area. Here is a brief description of the locations to paint in that area:
1. Luther Pass Ranch: About a mile from Pickett's Junction on Hwy 89 on the right-hand side. This is an old ranch and the gate is still open. Sorry, I do not have a photo of this area.
2. The area across Hwy 89 from Luther Pass Ranch is also a possibility. This is still part of Hope Valley.
3. Carson River access: There are many places along 88 to pull off and hike to the river for a beautiful view of just the river, aspens, willows, or the river and a view of Hope Valley and surrounding mountain peaks. See map. The areas indicated are in red from Sorensens to the beginning Blue Lakes Road.
