Viajara Says: Many people were bicycling in the area. This is not a casual bike ride - only seriously fit and experienced riders should consider pedaling along the east fork of the Carson River. We noticed quite a few motorcyclists traveling along the river. The cow dotted meadows,...
White water rafting near Markleeville
karenincalifornia Says: If trout fishing in the Sierras offers too much stimulation for you (I know it did for me), an alternative activity is white water rafting down the Upper East Fork of the Carson River. This is a Class III+ river that runs from May to July. You COULD get thrown overboard and...
karenincalifornia Says: This little critter kept hamming it up while we were on on our front porch at Sorensen's Resort in Hope Valley.The yellow-bellied marmot is found only in high elevations in the US.
karenincalifornia Says: After that strenuous day of trout fishing, go back to Sorensen's Resort and relax in one of the many hammocks on the property.
karenincalifornia Says: Alpine County, California, is world reknown for its fishing. Trout is abundant in the local lakes and streams, thanks to frequent stocking by Fish and Game.We didn't catch anything this day, but everyone else seemed to be pulling fish out right and left.

Carson River Resort: Mixed review
Viajara Says: The staff couldn't be nicer or more accomodating. They were wonderful. We stayed in the Miner's cabin which was supposed to accomodate five people. We had five adult-sized people with us and it was VERY cozy. If you weren't in bed, then you were in someone's way. I can't...
Sorensen's Resort: The only place to stay in Hope Valley
karenincalifornia Says: Sorensen's Resort is a cute little collection of cabins with kitchenettes in Hope Valley. The owners are delightful, and the cabins are clean and nicely decorated. We had the cutest little cabin - you almost wanted to pinch it. Pretty grounds, nice attention to detail,...
The Deli: Don't miss The Deli!
Ceciliar Says: The Deli has fantastic food, over 40 sandwiches of hot and cold and are HUGE! The home made soups and salads are wonderful. The service is very good and prices are very reasonable for being so far away from anything. I oaid less here than I do at Subwas and was sooo much...
Wolf Creek Restaurant: Everything was tasty!
Viajara Says: The food was very tasty. I think we caught them on a couple of difficult evenings. They were having some kind of banquet on the first night, but they did find seating for us. On the second night, there was an electrical problem. They weren't sure they would even be able to...
'The Deli': The only Deli in town!
bpwarne Says: If you are dining in Markleeville, your choices are somewhat limited. 'The Deli' may actually be your only choice for lunch on some days in the summer. There is very pleasant outdoor seating on the large deck at the front of the building. Great sandwiches and soup. However,...
Sorensen's Resort: Can't beat that home-style cooking!
karenincalifornia Says: The ONLY place to eat in Hope Valley is at the restaurant in Sorensen's Resort. It's a good thing the food is so delicious! Cooking is homestyle. The restaurant serves all 3 meals and has a wine list that is unbelievable for being out in the boonies.We even met people who...
Helpfulness
Every hike in Hope Valley, CA is off the beaten path. This whole area is so isolated that we never came across another two legged mammal on any of our hikes.
The first part of this particular hike is better suited for moutain goats than humans. After clambering up boulders for a good 20 minutes, the trail takes you through forests and meadows where, in the 1800's, horse thieves would hide their stolen horses. Strains of "Bonanza" and "Rawhide" were wafting through my brain.
The trail head is just east of Sorensen's Resort and campground. Look for the small parking lot on the north side of the road.

Helpfulness
Favorite thing: You mean UN-favorite thing. Trout fishing in the Sierras in May was too damn cold for me. And I left my neck gaitor at home! Not to worry. Those canvas bags that carry the folding camp chairs will do nicely in a pinch.

Where the heck is Markleeville?
Hope Valley is so tiny that it didn't even make it on VT's list of towns. The closest town listed by VT is Markleeville, CA, a few miles away.
Markleeville is located on the east slope of the Sierra about a 35 minute drive south of Lake Tahoe. We have called it home since 1987, although we also spend much of our time in Shelter Cove on the...
