Short Walk or Long Hike Gets you Beautiful Views

Bring your walking shoes or hiking boots on your visit to Stanford Sierra Conference Center.  You can head out on your own, or we can provide a friendly guide to lead your group on a hike.

Memorial weekend guided hike

Less than a mile from the main lodge on a paved road, the Lower Glen Alpine Falls cascade 60 feet in step like fashion.

The falls are most impressive in the spring with the run off from the melting snow.

Behind our lodge, Cathedral peak provides a spectacular backdrop and a more strenuous hike with rewarding views.

Before you hike to Cathedral check in at the office for directions and a hiking permit.  Then head back through the parking lot for a moderately difficult 2.5 mile hike to Cathedral Lake where you will be rewarded with a spectacular view of Fallen Leaf Lake and Lake Tahoe.  Read more about hiking around Fallen Leaf Lake.
