Day hike to Shealor Lake

On our way home from Lake Tahoe, we drove on Highway 88 with plans to stop at Wood’s Lake and hike up to Winnemucca Lake. Unfortunately, we couldn’t even get to the trailhead at Wood’s Lake because of snow, so we drove down past Silver Lake to the trailhead for Shealor Lake, a lake we had never visited. It’s a short hike, just up and over a granite ridge. Wildflowers were abundant and the temperature was cool because it was overcast. In fact, we dropped down through some drizzly stuff on our drive down highway 88, but as the day wore on, the overcast lifted. I’m guessing it’s a nice swimming lake once the snow melts and the lake warms up.
