The American Discovery Trail crosses the Sierra Nevada mountain range over a relatively easy route that has a few obstacles. I hiked along the Tahoe Rim Trail and saw the spectacular lake below, mountains rising proudly around the majestic perimeter. The trees were giant. I finished the daunting range, said bye to my Tahoe friends and made my way (by car) back to Eureka, NV, with a holiday stop in the Reno area. It sounds confusing, but I’d skipped ahead 300 miles of Nevada to hike over the Sierras in a timely fashion. They tend to get a lot of snow. While Thanksgiving seems well in the past, walking into the Atlantic Ocean nearly two years ago seems like yesterday. ~ Briana DeSanctis, of Farmington, only has a few hundred miles to complete out her 6,800-mile hike across the USA on the American Discovery Trail
