Tracy came in last night and we had a fantastic dinner (our Valentine’s dinner to miss the madness tonight).  We played some cards, won a little, and hit the sack early.

This morning we got up and drove to Mt Charleston.  We wanted to hike the south loop to the summit, but it was closed.  We spoke to the ranger and was directed to try the north loop.  We started at Trail Canyon trailhead and hiked 6 miles to the ridge right before the summit.  It was getting late and the snow conditions weren’t great so we turned back 1400 below the summit (10,500 ft).  We made it back to the car as darkness set in.  A few pics below.
