The Lodge sits on the edge of the Lake Tahoe Basin. The lake is located just 25 miles away. Because of its attractiveness to summer hikers and winter skiers, the area around Donner Pass is a readily accessible mecca for recreational use. From a conservation standpoint, this has implications which we will both witness and discuss. Since the very beginning, a cooperative spirit has been employed at the Lodge.
Guests assist with daily kitchen chores, such as serving, setting tables, and cleanup.
These chores require about half an hour each day. A hearty breakfast and dinner are served in the dining room, brown bag lunches for hikes. A vegetarian meal option is always available. All accommodations are in bunk beds. Bring your own sleeping bag or bedding.
