Itinerary

Our most popular snowmobile tour starts at the trailhead in beautiful Hope Valley, at 7,200 feet. Guests will receive a brief orientation, safety talk, and driving instructions before driving themselves while following their guide. The trail quickly climbs into the backcountry, offering stunning views of the Sierra Crest at nearly 10,000 feet. As the trail crosses Charity Valley below Markleeville Peak, guests can see historic cabins built by early settlers. The trail then follows the rim of Charity Canyon and climbs to 8,300 feet before leveling out. With many miles of groomed trails in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, every tour offers tremendous scenic opportunities.
