Mount Rose is the highest mountain in Washoe County, within the Carson Range of Nevada, United States. It ranks thirty-seventh among the most topographically prominent peaks in the state. It is also both the highest and most topographically prominent peak of the greater Sierra Nevada range within the state of Nevada, and the third most topographically prominent peak in the Sierra Nevada overall. It is located in the Mount Rose Wilderness of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. An extinct volcano, the mountain is in between Lake Tahoe and Reno. State Route 431 traverses Mount Rose Summit southeast of Mount Rose. Due to the high elevation, most of the precipitation that falls on the mountain is snow. The view from Mount Rose, facing east is the Truckee Meadows area is the second largest population center in Nevada.
According to one tradition, the peak was named after Jacob S, Rose, an early settler, while another tradition states the mountain has the name of Rose Hickman, an early explorer.
Mount Rose Ski Tahoe is nearby but is not on Mount Rose. Despite the name, the resort is actually on the slopes of Slide Mountain, which is on the other side of Nevada State Route 431. The east slope of Slide Mountain, is the East Bowl of Mt. Rose. In 1964, the north side of Slide Mountain was named Mount Rose Ski Area and Reno Ski Bowl was renamed Slide Mountain Ski Area. In 1987 the two ski areas merged and began operation as one resort named Mt. Rose.
Dr. James Edward Church of the University of Nevada established the Mount Rose Weather Observatory, one of America's first high-altitude meteorological observatories, on June 29, 1905.

People gathered at Percival Landing in Downtown Olympia, Washington to witness one of the year's highest high tides.
Many areas of Downtown Olympia are very close to sea-level during high tides. People are concerned that with rising sea-levels, flooding may become a regular part of living downtown.

Richland Balsam Overlook - Highest Point on the Blue Ridge Parkway Motorway - Elevation 6,053 ft. above sea level.
This is one of my favorite overlooks. Every season of the year is a fascinating one and none more so than late summer/early fall. The Monarch Butterflies regularly frequent this overlook along with Caney Fork Overlook. It blooms with SOMETHING from early spring through frost. At the moment it is showing a TON of Green-Headed Coneflower and the Joe Pie Weed has come out in profusion this last week. I was delighted to see the New England Aster beginning to open because that seems to be what the Monarch REALLY love as they migrate south to Mexico for the winter.
We were extremely surprised to find Monarchs today . . . at least four of them (probably more but I saw four together at the same time) because it's early. Don't know what that portends for the future, but they were a delight to behold!!!
