The vacation plan was to photograph wildflowers and take our kayak on its first voyage to some of the many beautiful lakes around Carson Pass. The record snow from last winter delayed the blooming of the wildflowers, thus more time was spent kayaking instead of hiking. The lakes we kayaked were Loon Lake, Silver Lake, Caples Lake and Red Lake. The lakes featured in our hike were the Frog Lake and the Winnemucca Lake.
