Norden, CA

Travel Guide

A wonderful hike up Donner Peak from the Snow Shed parking lot. Snow shoe the ridge line route or hike up with North face with technical gear (crampons, ropes, and protection). Outstanding views from the top.
Donner Pass ( 7,056 ft )is a mountain pass in the northern Sierra Nevada, above Donner Lake about 9 miles (14 km) west of Truckee, California.
Looking out over the bridge out to Lake Tahoe and the mountains in the background so magnificent!!
The Donner Party, or Donner-Reed Party, was a group of American pioneers led by George Donner and James F. Reed who set out for California in a wagon train in May 1846. They were delayed by a series of mishaps and mistakes, and spent the winter of 1846–47 snowbound in the Sierra Nevada. Some of the pioneers resorted to cannibalism to survive.
Everyone should travel this road and visit Donner Pass

This is our second time staying at Edgelake and we love staying in these condos by the lake instead of a tiny hotel room.
