Venture to Kirkwood Mountain Resort and Sierra-at-Tahoe Resort—just two of the sights around Kit Carson.

One of our favorite lakes for kayaking and hiking. In the distance you can see a forest fire. California has so many severe fires affecting so many people I love. Please keep good thoughts/prayers for those who have lost so much.
