Overview

Point 7015 and Point 7016 are two summits in southern Washoe County, Nevada on the west side of the Washoe Valley. They are foothills of the Carson Range separated from the main ridge that rises above Lake Tahoe by a small valley aptly named “Little Valley”.  For a time, they were accessible, and a fun option for spring or fall hiking in the Washoe Valley.  Locals have since taken whatever steps necessary to illegally block access to Forest Service lands.  As a result, I am removing the Mountain/Rock page and creating and album page for the photos.  I hiked both summits in October of 2010, and returned to the area in October of 2015.
