Mount Houghton is located on the Northeast corner of Tahoe near Mount Rose. With snow in the forecast I headed out from the Mount Rose Trailhead hoping to make it to at least one peak. The Tahoe Rim Trail was completely buried in snow. Going was slow as the fresh snow made me posthole nearly the entire time. Sinking in the snow each step is a tremendous workout!
With the snow getting heavier, Mount Rose was now out of the question. I was able to march up to Mount Houghton and catch a few glimpses of Tahoe before the clouds covered everything up. A very challenging day with so much fresh snow!
