This spectacular Sierra ski resort has a base elevation at 7,800 feet that is open for great skiing during the winter season, and great hiking trails in the summer.

While out of the way from South Lake Tahoe, would definitely recommend the trip for a full day of skiing on the weekend. Kirkwood is the most challenging out of the three on the Epic pass and is great for getting you out of your comfort zone. The terrain is definitely unique compared to Northstar and Heavenly. It is exposed, not a lot of trees or folds in the mountains, and so you can see people skiing from very far away, which makes the lifts more entertaining! Solitude lift gets crowded with intermediate skiiers as it only services blues, but the line is shorter on the Reut lift, and some of those blacks are pretty comparable to other blues on the mountain. On days when it’s not icy, my favorite run is Conestoga, off the Reut. Lower Monte Wolfe off Solitude is also not too crowded. Lifts opened with staggered times, so the back side can get crowded in the late mornings. There also are no single riders lines.

Quite possibly the nicest, cleanest, well-run parks I've ever seen. Tranquil forests and informative cultural exhibits - perfect. A special shout out to ranger Lee Eal! Knowledgeable and helpful - made our camping experience wonderful!

This was a Father's Day trip for our family. Even though we have lived in Tuolumne County for years we have never visited any mines in Calaveras County. The guide was very knowledgeable and we all had a great tour. The only issue was we came on the hottest day of the year.

The people of Sutter Creek are solid gold. We were assisted by police officers in finding a disable parking. They were so professional and helpful. We also met a fantastic couple who had been married for 67 years. Everyone was having a great time and the crowd was respectful. Stop at the Cheese Store for a tasty treat. This was a perfect day in the gold country, can't wait to go back.
