Update: There are no fall photo hikes scheduled for 2018.

Join Washoe County park rangers to explore some of the Reno area's most scenic hiking trails. These hikes provide amateur photographers and hiking enthusiasts with the opportunity to capture their own spectacular fall photography. If this sounds like fun, then bring a jacket, a sturdy pair of hiking boots, a bottle of water, and of course your camera. The hikes will cover 3 to 5 miles in 2 to 3 hours, weather permitting. Do not bring pets - they will not be allowed on the hikes.
