West Carson River

The West Carson River near Luther Pass (Lake Tahoe area). Just a slight detour off Highway 395, you can wet a line, take a hike, snap some photos, or get your Zen on;) Earlier winter snows were on the lean side, so streams are extremely low, and fishing, challenging. Mountainsides are already sporting washes of gold, yellow, and blazing orange since the aspens at higher elevations are getting an early start at Fall color.
