SNU Hope Rally

Please join the Sierra Nevada Unit for its Hope Valley Dispersed Rally! It offers shaded or sun drenched campsites among the forest with meadows just off the Carson Pass Highway (CA-88) just 1.5 miles west of CA-89. Plan for brights sun days and brisk mornings and evenings (maybe not as brisk as 2022).

You'll have the opportunity to hike a portion of the Pacific Crest Trail, visit Devils Ladder Lookout Historic Landmark to view Red Lake and the steep mountainside where the wagon wheels of the over 150,000 pioneers wore grooves in the granite rock surfaces crossing Carson Pass. Need a bit more, visit Caples Resorts' Marina, Restaurant and Lounge to walk a portion of the Emigrant Trail, relax by the Lake or enjoy a meal or adult beverage.

Hope Valley Dispersed Area has no facilities so come with your water tank full and black and gray tanks empty. Early morning temps can be in the 30s so make sure you have propane too. Of course we'll have our standard evening potluck meals and maybe squeeze in some breakfast pastries. 

Drive through the gate to the wye. You’ll find campsites located along the roadway both right and left; look right first for the silver Twinkies (Airstreams), secondly look left.

Please RSVP in case an early winter in the Sierra Nevada causes us to change rally locations; club157@airstreamclub.org.

P.S. we need co-hosts to help meet and greet rally attendees.
