Day hikes near Reno?

Am looking for suggestions for day hikes out of Reno - do I have to go over to Tahoe or are there nice hikes on the Reno side of the mountains? I%26#39;m looking at no more than 5-6 miles.

Tahoe Rim Trail is one of the nicest areas, you can go for different stretches, http://www.tahoerimtrail.org/. There are others areas as well, a lot of hikers take the Hunter Lake Access roads from the Caughlin Ranch area, just watch out for the toys going the same way. Peavine area is also popular. There is a trail along the Truckee river through town.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. We had scheduled our hiking day for Thursday but it was just way too windy that day to spend much time outdoors. So we did our hiking at Scheel%26#39;s - first time visit and it%26#39;s a mighty impressive place. I can%26#39;t think of a sport that wasn%26#39;t represented in that store!

Cabela%26#39;s is also a good hike around...... Not the same sports represented, but an interesting visit. The wind has been brutal the last few days, my allergies are killing me! Our plants are very confused, do I start spring or do I stay dormant? Cold enough outside that we still have snow from the other night along our back fence where the sun can%26#39;t get to yet, but warm enough for the beagles to take a nap on the grass in the sun. Probably wise to stick to indoor hikes for a day or two more.
