Nostalgia & History > The prettiest spot on the Espee was...Date: 11/22/15 06:27 The prettiest spot on the Espee was... Author: Copy19 ...just west of Verdi, Nev. on the Overland Route. Here is a westbound nearing the California state line. It's June 25, 1971.

The photo would have been better with F's, but they were fading from history by '71.

The trail parallels the Truckee, TMWA water works and the railroad. The trail has 4 short steep sections to climb until you reach the Fleisch dam so it is not for beginners. I found the scenery very enjoyable because it is completely different than what you see from the freeway. Railroad brudge near the dam.
