Hiking eye-to-eye with the passenger jets

It’s not often you have a chance from ground level to get eye-to-eye with a passenger jet let alone be above it while it’s still airborne. Well, if you are in the Reno area, be sure to hike 5,014 foot Rattlesnake Mountain, as you will get a close-up view of them as they are descending to land at Reno/Tahoe International Airport.  FYI – This does depend on the wind direction.

With the Sierras as a backdrop, it’s 360 degrees of amazing views from Rattlesnake Mountain. Out and back, the trail is approximately 1.7 miles in length and you gain approximately 415 feet in elevation.

There are several approaches to the summit of Rattlesnake Mountain to choose from with varying degrees of steepness. Once near the summit, you are afforded splendid views of greater Reno, including a full-on vista of the airport, as well as a great view of downtown.

Rattlesnake Mountain and the adjacent hills in the Huffaker Hills Open Space form the east side of a narrow air corridor, along with the Sierras on the west side, that aircraft fly through on approach to Reno/Tahoe International Airport from the south.

So, if you love plane watching and cityscapes, Rattlesnake Mountain in Reno, Nevada is the place for you. After sunset, the lights of the city and airport must be even more amazing!

Peace!
