On (yes!) Galena Creek, in the Carson Range off the Tahoe Rim Trail, on the Nevada side. The white stuff _is_ ice--it was freezing overnight already. Nonetheless, there were lots of hikers, so getting a pic without people took some effort. Galena Creek is named after the old mining camp of Galena, the site of which is now overtaken by suburban sprawl out of Reno, Nevada. In turn, "galena" is lead sulfide, PbS, the primary ore mineral for lead.
