Overnight Snowshoe to Nesika Lodge

Come join us at the lodge for a cozy winter weekend! The lodge will be open all weekend for members and nonmembers to relax, hike and enjoy warm a warm fire with old and new friends.

Access: We will meet opposite Multnomah Lodge on Route 30 at 8:00 am February 14th. Check construction conditions on Route 30 for road closures. DO NOT LEAVE VALUBLES IN THE CAR IF PARKING OVERNIGHT. The trail up to the lodge (elev. 1,800 ft) from Multnomah Falls is moderate-difficult, roughly 4 hours in good conditions. Warm clothes and micro spikes are necessary, snow shoes are strongly recommended for the unpredictable conditions. If Larch Mountain Rd and Palmer Mill are free of snow, folks can drive in to the lodge with high clearance AWD. If so, arrangements must be made to unlock the gate on entry/exit, and a chainsaw is required for fallen trees on the forest road. Please contact the host if visiting the lodge for the first time and need directions, either by car or on foot.

Food: All meals are pot luck. Cooking facilities include electric, gas, microwave and wood-fired stoves. All cookware and silverware is available at the lodge, as is fresh water.

Sleep: Cots are available in the wood stove-heated dorm, bring a sleeping bag. Dorm or lodge spaces are $18 for adult members, $30 for adult guests per night.

Other amenities: A generator provides electricity for the lodge. A DVD player and games are available for entertainment. Potable cooking and drinking water is available, though flush toilets and showers are not during the winter. Cell reception is possible with most carriers. There are no garbage facilities in the winter, please expect to pack it out if you pack it in.

Pets welcome, but not in the lodge or dorm.
