To SadieKate,

I have a few suggestions for places to go on the eastern side of Donner Summit, toward Truckee.

1. We go off of Glacier Rd in the Tahoe Donner area of Truckee quite a bit. There's parking at the end of the road and in a small parking area at the beginning of the road. It's usually not crowded and you can wander quite a ways.

2. There's Paige Meadows which is above Tahoe City.

3. When there's a bit more snow than we have now you can snowshoe around Donner State Park.

4. There's always Mt. Rose meadows. It can get crowded on weekends but it's up pretty high so the snow is frequently better than a lot of other areas.

If you want any directions or more info, let me know.
