The Sierra Nevada is one of the most spectacular mountain regions of the United States. It is longer and higher than any other single range in the lower 48 states. The animals and plants of the region are adapted to the weather, and to rocky habitats. Located at Donner Pass, the Clair Tappaan Lodge is a rustic yet comfortable refuge from the occasional summer rains. It has a wonderful dining room, library, and living room.
Bedrooms are simple but comfortable.
Delicious meals are served in the Lodge each morning and evening. Foods for packing lunch are available each morning as well. After breakfast each day, we will depart on a day hike. These hikes will be physically challenging, educational, and fun. The pristine mountain lakes of the region provide wonderful destinations and beautiful spots for swimming and picnicking.
