![]() ![]() This very popular event attracts over 150 attendees each year. Join us for the 2021 annual Princeton in the Sierra alumni weekend retreat at a spectacular location in the Sierra! We’re on track to bring back this very popular event after having to cancel plans for 2020. The Stanford Sierra Camp ran through 9 weeks of their summer program without a single COVID case or exposure at Camp, so they feel confident in their ability to maintain high health standards during the Princeton in the Sierra event. Outside activity, dining, and spacing will be encouraged when possible. All food service in the dining room will be served by the staff (not self-serve buffet line). We will have outdoor dining seating available for people to space out more if they would like.ĭaily Housekeeping service is available on request, but staff will not go into guest rooms unless it is requested. All individuals, regardless of vaccination status required to wear masks in indoors shared spaces (while not eating). We’ll continue to monitor events and update accordingly.ĬOVID Safety: We expect to have a program similar to pre-COVID years, but all adult guests will be required to provide proof of vaccination OR a negative PCR test result within 72 hours prior to arrival at Camp. We’re grateful under the circumstances, but of course still saddened by the damage the fire has inflicted in the region. Air quality has improved dramatically and by October 7 we can reasonably expect the Princeton Sierra Camp will proceed as normal. Treat yourself and stop at Camp Richardson for a ridiculously large ice cream cone or head down to the Beacon for a beer on Lake Tahoe.2021 West Coast Princeton Alumni Retreat – October 7-10, 2021Ĭaldor Fire Update: The fire bypassed Fallen Leaf Lake and the Stanford Sierra Camp. Traffic is light in the park, and the wooded road provides a cool environment for your climb with one section of 12% grade! Take a break on the beach or head right back the way you came. Ride slowly through the park and descend to the lake. After a short descent, race your riding partners up the short climb to the entrance of D. Your next climb is up the north side of Emerald Bay, a nice, steady climb with a wide shoulder and breathtaking view of Lake Tahoe. Pay attention to the traffic at the viewpoint as you come off the ridge, then enjoy the downhill while keeping an eye out for cars trying to park along the road. Look to your left over Cascade Lake into Desolation Wilderness, including Pyramid Peak and the Crystal Range – a beautiful and inspiring view. The view is your reward, and it’s amazing, so give it your all, and use the gradual climb along the ridge to recover. At the second hairpin, catch your breathe on this stretch because you’re about to lose it again, gather your composure and power through this next set of hairpins, it takes strength and excellent aerobic fitness to power through the last hairpin to the ridge overlooking Cascade Lake (left) and Emerald Bay (right). ![]() The shoulder is narrow, so pay attention and try to sneak a peak of the lake for inspiration. Downshift and get out of the seat for that first hairpin, then settle in your seat and pedal. There is a wide section of road to take a break and enjoy the view if you like, or for hammerheads, just keep going! Breathe deep on the short descent and take advantage of the chance to pick up some speed as you get ready to burn up those legs and lungs on the switchbacks up to Emerald Bay. After a little warm up hill, you’re rewarded with your first, breathtaking view of Lake Tahoe. Pass the beach entrances and a grove of aspens by Taylor Creek, then the road begins to climb. Tallac dominating the skyline to your left. ![]() Enjoy the flats and get those legs warmed up as you continue past Camp Richardson stables, and adore the view of majestic Mt. (In summer, you might want to avoid the bike trail and the many families heading to the beaches.) It’s a nice flat cruise through the pines and firs as you approach and pass Camp Richardson. Depending on time of year, you can choose the paved bike trail or ride on the road. From the Y intersection, where you see Raley’s (intersection of Hwy 50 and Hwy 89), it’s 26 miles round trip to the beach at Bliss State Park and back.įrom the Y intersection, head north on Hwy 89 towards Tahoe City. From South Lake Tahoe, we like to do an out and back to Bliss State Park, which is just past Emerald Bay. One of the most scenic routes is the ride up to and around Emerald Bay. – Nancy Harrison, Director of Sales and Marketing at Stanford Sierra Camp, Fallen Leaf Lake ![]()
