It was a beautiful day for the annual Jean Ford NWHP Wildflower hike, where we discovered the hidden gem of Crystal Peak Park in Verdi.
Led by our enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide Haley, with assistance from Annie, also enthusiastic and knowledgeable, we explored the plant, insect and wildlife of this Washoe County treasure.
If you’re passing through Verdi, take the time to check this place out. Also, every Thursday night Truckee Meadows Parks Foundation offers free, guided, one hour interpretive walks. For more information, check out https://www.tmparksfoundation.
Many thanks to Haley & Annie for taking us on this fascinating and educational tour.
