OPEN YEAR ROUND...
Lying six miles northwest of Squaw Valley and four and a half miles northeast
of Truckee, the Lost Trail Lodge offers modern amenities in a rustic atmosphere,
making for a comfortable backcountry destination.
Winter
Hidden four miles deep in Coldstream Canyon, the lodge offers an ideal starting
point to access some of the Sierra Nevada's best skiing and ice- climbing terrain.
With its proximity to I-80 and the historic town of Truckee, the lodge is in
the perfect location for a week-long adventure or a weekend getaway.
Proponents of the idea that getting there is half the fun, we suggest that guests access the lodge under their own power. The meandering stream beds and stunning views are much more spectacular on skis or snowshoes than inside a machine. As we strive to be a free-heel....we ask our guests to ski or snowshoe to the lodge.
Summer
With hundreds of acres of undeveloped forest surrounding the lodge, summer
activities are as boundless as the terrain itself. Perhaps your goal is to cover
some ground on mountain bike or foot, discovering untouched wildflower meadows
and waterfalls. Or maybe you’ll just want to read along the banks of a
lazy stream, by chance sharing the landscape with a deer or beaver passing by.
Whatever your desire, the Lost Trail Lodge will invite you in at the end of your
exploration and adventure.
Options for accessing the lodge in the summer abound. Folks desiring a true adventure from start to finish can hike or mountain bike from the pavement’s end in Truckee, a 4 mile jaunt. Hiking or horse back riding in from the Pacific Crest Trail is also a great possibility.
For those guests who don’t want to work so hard on their vacation, the summer months allow the luxury of driving to the lodge. 4-wheel drive vehicles park on site. There is a designated summer parking area for 2 wheel drives ½ mile from the lodge.
