Sunday happenings around Carson City Sept. 23

Enjoy a warm, sunny first Sunday of Autumn by heading outdoors, where you can share space with some of our area's wildlife.

From a Muscle Powered bike ride to u-pick apples at the Apple Basket in Washoe Valley, you take in a crisp, cool morning or a mild, pleasant afternoon.

Hike along the Carson River or stroll through Carson City's historic west side neighborhood, and you just might see some the resident Mule deer enjoying themselves, too.
