Nice counter-clockwise loop from Carson Pass hitting frozen-over Woods, Winnemucca and Frog Lakes following a XC route designated with blue diamond tree tags. Broke in my new MSR Evo Ascent showshoes, very nice.

Carson Pass and nearby Meiss trailheads are considered Sno-Parks Nov 1 - May 30, $15 day pass required for parking, must be purchased in person from a vendor or online and printed, then displayed in the windshield.

Excellent loop starting from the Carson Pass trailhead on Hwy 88. Went clockwise on good trails with lots of water, greenery and flowers. South a few miles on the PCT, then west on Summit City Canyon trail and back north past 4th of July, Round Top and Winnemucca Lakes. Also took a side trip up 10,381' Round Top peak.

Eat to hike-hike to eat. A nice outing for a picnic. High alpine experience without a whole lot of effort.
