Accommodations are assigned in advance by the trip leader. A small, friendly, professional staff cares for the lodge year round. Clair Tappaan Lodge is easy to reach from major airports and highways. This is approximately 15 miles west of Truckee, California and about 45 miles west of Reno, Nevada, which is the nearest major airport. From San Francisco, the lodge is about 180 miles east on Interstate 80.
Car rentals are available nearby in Reno.
Truckee and Soda Springs are both served by Greyhound and Amtrak. A trip roster will be mailed to you a month before the trip so that you can coordinate car pooling to and from the lodge. Please feel free to call the trip leader earlier to discuss transportation options. Transportation to and from the lodge is not included in the trip fee. The best thing to do is to get a bit more in shape.
