I've hiked the Rim to Reno trail, both the 20 mile & 25 mile hikes, ending at this Thomas Creek Trailhead. Sadly both times, in 2021 & 2022 the view along the rim were obscured by smoke from CA wildfires. 2 overnights on the shorter hike, 3 overnights on the longer hike. If you ever decide to hike the Rim to Reno trail let me know so I can provide you with the all important geo co-ords of water sources at Bronco Creek & high up on the trail coming down alongside Thomas Creek Begin your Rim to Reno hike from the Mt Rose trailhead - trust me on this. Dry Pond loop which I hiked numerous times, I've always started at the Thomas Creek trailhead & hiked like you in a counter-clockwise direction. Lots of geocaches along all these trails. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada

Yes, my plan is to start the Rim to Reno at the Mt. Rose trailhead and mostly do a lot of descending. My son will join me so we have a car at each end. This is a favorite hike that Boy Scouts can do to complete their hiking merit badge, though I’ve never done it myself!
