We like to stay at the Peppermill Resort when we go to Reno. Just a couple blocks from the Peppermill is the Virginia Lake Park. Instead of a boring tread mill in the exercise room, we walk the park.

It's a nice piece of country in the middle of the city. Really enjoy walking around the lake there for exercise. It's just a 2 minute walk from the hotel. More

But they all seem to get along fine. feeding the birds seems OK, as local residents come with bags of old bread and such and are greeted with great enthusiasm by the winged residents. There is a walkway around the lake, and... More
