Trailhead for route that gained over 2000 ft of elevation within 3 miles to reach 8200 ft. It took us 3.5 hrs to hike it. Started in Squaw Valley and climbed up to Silver Peak and the Tahoe Basin.

This is the section where Bob tripped, fell on a rock, and dislocated his finger (pic at end of slides). Trail guide pulled into place. Not going to let a little boo-boo keep Bob from completing the hike!
