Reservations open for Frog Lake huts

Truckee Donner Land Trust is now accepting reservations for the new Frog Lake Backcountry Huts that will be open starting Dec. 21 for the winter, snow conditions permitting.

Frog Lake Backcountry Huts are located near Donner Summit just northwest of Truckee. At 7,600 feet, Frog Lake sits on a granite moraine, surrounded by red fir and Jeffrey pine. The 1,000-foot-high Frog Lake Cliff overlooks the huts from across the lake, which lights up with the sunrise each morning.

Accessible by ski, snowboard or snowshoe in the winter, these huts offer a new, previously unavailable option for overnight adventures in the northern Sierra. The sleeping huts are modern and comfortable in the tradition of European huts. A commercial grade kitchen is available for preparing meals. | truckeedonnerlandtrust.org
