If you like pristine mountain air and the aroma of a pine forest, this is the place for you. If you like high altitude accommodations, this is the highest you are likely to find; almost three thousand feet higher than Tahoe and Yosemite Valley. If you like the feel of wooden buildings and windows that open so that you can hear the stream tumbling by a stone's throw away, this is the place for you. If you appreciate a dreamer's dreams and the fulfillment thereof, this is the place for you. If historic events still stir your heart and they are recorded in a hundred years of photographs around the walls, this is the place for you. If you can imagine a vast lobby four stories high furnished with comfortable couches and chairs and a massive stone fireplace commanding attention at one end, this is the place for you. If you like peace and quiet, you will like a summer night here. If you like to swim in an uncrowded clean pool, here is one.
If you like personal attention from the waiter/cook/local historian, here is one. His homemade cinnamon rolls and nut bread along with a large assortment of other choices in their continental breakfast will suit your taste.
This is not the Hilton. Nor does it purport to be. No valet parking here, nor is it needed. The parking is close by and is free.
This lodge and its alpine amenities are in a class of their own and offer an experience that is priceless.
