About Hope Valley...

HOPE VALLEY OUTDOORS is a winter resort offering our Customers the best in outdoor recreational opportunities! If you're looking for cross-country/telemark skiing,snowshoeing,rentals,lessons, and even guided tours Hope Valley Outdoors can provide experienced information for just about all your outdoor needs.

Our location is just a few minutes east of Kirkwood Ski Resort on Highway 88,at Pickett's Junction Hwy 88/89. We have a lovely Yurt set up during the winter. We are a short drive out to Grover Hot Springs in Markleeville. Lodging and camping are all nearby, and we are open Thanksgiving through Easter. But opening and closing depends on the snow conditions.

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 through lower elevations 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...
