Time:          9:30 am
Place:          Mt. Rose Meadows  at the top of Mt. Rose Highway

Yep!  We are going back to the cool meadows at the top of Mt. Rose to escape the heat in Reno!  Although we are meeting at the parking lot - feel free to check out the other side of the highway for views ---- you just need to carry your gear - probably in a backpack and wear hiking boots.  There are also trails nearby - the Tahoe Rim Trail goes through here.
