Storey County Highpoint Trip Report

As I pulled into Virginia City, I thought I'd check out the Ophir Grade and see
if I could make it up in the rental car. Mind you, this was a Chevy Aveo with
hardly any clearance! I had to stop several times to move rocks out of the road but,
moving slowly and carefully, I managed to make it to the ridge just 3/4 of
a mile from the summit. It took about 3.5 hours for the drive and short hike to
the top. I could have hiked it in just 2 judging from previous reports but it
was hot and the saved energy allowed me to head over to Snow Valley Peak
[Carson City highpoint].
