There may be other Sierra Club members staying at the lodge on their own during our outing, but they won't have a professionally run outing, staffed by experienced leaders who know the country well. Nor will they have after-dinner programs and the camaraderie of our group. The lodge is fairly easy to reach from major airports and highways. This is about 45 miles west of Reno, the closest airport. From the other direction, the lodge is 180 miles east of both the San Francisco and Oakland airports on Interstate 80.
Car rentals are available at all three airports.
Truckee, the closest town to the airport, is ten minutes away and served by Amtrack. As July approaches, we'll help by sending out possible car pooling information and driving instructions. The bottom line, though, is that getting to the lodge is your responsibility. Our outing begins 6 p.m. on Saturday, July 21. Please plan on arriving in time to find your room, unpack a bit, and meet for dinner.
