But it's not all about the weather! We've also got some exciting updates on **additional campgrounds, hostels, and amenities** in and around **San Francisco** along the **ADT.** ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/0f/28/0f286572-aa37-49a3-8704-f6d42aa3a69a/content/images/2022/12/Hiking-America-wordmark-GreenSlogan.jpg) Not affiliated with nor authorized by the American Discovery Trail Society® ## California ### Segment 9 - [Palisades to Nevada State Line](https://www.hikingamerica.com/guides-california/) ❄️📉 **Yesterday, July 9th,** the snow depth at the [**Mount Rose Ski Area**](https://wcc.sc.egov.usda.gov/reportGenerator/view/customSingleStationReport/daily/start%5Fof%5Fperiod/652:NV:SNTL%7Cid=%22%22%7Cname/-29,0/WTEQ::value,SNWD::value,PREC::value,TOBS::value?fitToScreen=false&ref=hikingamerica.com) finally took a dip, falling below 3 inches for the first time since winter waved hello! **A record breaker?** Well, it's a yes and no situation. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/0f/28/0f286572-aa37-49a3-8704-f6d42aa3a69a/content/images/2023/07/SnowTel23.png) 📅 It was just a day away from tying the record for **the latest date for snow on the ground** (July 10th) in the past 15 years. However, it did set **a new record 🏆 for the longest wait** after crossing the snowy expanse of **Palisades Tahoe** before being able to head north and west on the **Tahoe Rim Trail** and bid adieu to the Sierras and say hello to Nevada. 🏔️ With the snow season finally wrapping up (phew! 😅), our focus in the Sierras now shifts to a hotter issue - **wildfires.** You'd hope that after a year of heavy snowfall, the extra meltwater would help dampen some of the danger. 🔥 But, **TODAY**, [**a new blaze is being battled near Peavine Peak,**](https://www.sierrasun.com/news/new-wildfire-states-near-peavine-peak/?ref=hikingamerica.com) northwest of Reno, Nevada - **a mere 18 miles north of the ADT.** So, while we bid farewell to the snow, let's stay vigilant and keep our fingers crossed for a safe and fire-free summer! 🤞🌞 --- ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/0f/28/0f286572-aa37-49a3-8704-f6d42aa3a69a/content/images/2023/07/musiccityhostel.jpg) Dorm room in [****Music City Hostel**](https://www.guestreservations.com/music-city-hotelhostel/booking?ref=hikingamerica.com) in Downtown San Francisco - Music City Hotel Hostel Photo ## California ### Segments 1 & 2 - [Limantour Beach to San Francisco to Walnut Creek](https://www.hikingamerica.com/guides-california/) This week we have added information for **three additional campgrounds** near the Northern end of the **Golden Gate Bridge** and another in **The Presidio**.
