Western Nevada College student veterans are invited to join fellow student veterans from the University of Nevada, Reno and Truckee Meadows Community College for a hiking event on July 27 at Spooner Lake/Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park.

The preregistration deadline is July 25.

The easy 2-mile hike on the Spooner Loop Trail will begin at 10 a.m., so participants are encouraged to arrive in the parking lot by 9 a.m. Preregistered participants will be sent a parking pass prior to the event, to avoid paying a $6 parking fee at the state park.

A barbecue will be provided following the hike.

Participants are advised to wear appropriate clothing and shoes, and to carry water. Spooner Lake/Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park is 15 miles southwest of Carson City, near the intersection of U.S. Highway 50 West and State Route 28 at Lake Tahoe. Parking is on a first-come, first-served basis.
