Travel & Lodging
Kit Carson Lodge is a remote 100-year-old summer resort located on the shores of beautiful Silver Lake. It is about a 3-hour drive from San Francisco and 45 minutes from South Lake Tahoe. The closest airports are Reno (RNO, 1.5 hours away), Sacramento (SMF, 2 hours away), and San Francisco and Oakland (SFO / OAK, 3 hours away).
We will be staying on-site and encourage you to join us to keep the celebrations going all weekend! On-site accommodation options include cedar cabins housing between 2 and 8 people; hotel rooms at the Lodge; and tent camping.
If you'd prefer to stay off-site, hotels are also available in nearby Kirkwood and in Hope Valley, about a 25-minute drive from the Lodge.
