Hope Valley Outdoors is an all-season resort offering our Customers the best in outdoor recreational opportunities! Whether you're looking for cross-country/telemark skiing and snowshoeing in the winter/spring months, or hiking/backpacking, kayaking, or mountain biking in the summer/fall, Hope Valley Outdoors can provide experienced information for just about all your outdoor needs.
We're located just a few minutes east of Kirkwood Ski Resort on Highway 88, and only a few miles west of Grover Hot Springs in Markleeville, between Sorensen's Lodge and Woodsford. Lodging and camping are all nearby, and we are open most of the year, with the exception of late fall/early spring (please call ahead during fall and spring months).
After the Donner Party tragedy during the Big Winter of 1846, over 55,000 immigrants veered further south, choosing to come up from the Carson Valley through the canyon and over the Pass, eventually settling into California's Central Valley and beyond. Hope Valley has seen little change since that time. Well-known by area photographers as the Aspens change color in the Fall, you can experience the transformation from mid-September through October, beginning up Monitor Pass to the east, working its way past our Outdoor Center and campground, and finishing out on the western edge of Hope Valley. If you look carefully, you may still find some of the writings of Basque immigrants on the Aspens, though the writings will soon disappear, along with the old-growth trees themselves...
With some of the best untouched wilderness in the Sierra, you can experience the Carson River as it meanders through beautiful open valleys and colorful meadows, or hike up to the nearby peaks searching out the hidden lakes and streams while photographing the wildflower-strewn hillsides...
