The Lake of the Sky

CHAPTER XV
12/50

Rose, 10,800 feet, on which is perched the Meteorological Observatory of the University of Nevada.
Beyond is the Washoe Range.
Even before reaching the summit we gain a fine view, through the trees, of Castle Peak, 9139 feet, while further north is Mt.

Lola, 9167 feet.

Close at hand is a glorious specimen of red fir, fully four and a half feet in diameter.

Below us to the west is a patch of vivid green, known as Antone Meadows.

It was named after a Switzer who lived there years ago and whose children now own it.
