Spring and Summer In Alpine County

	Fishing April to October, the waters of the West Fork of the Carson River, which snakes through the heart of Hope Valley and run right along our property, offer some of the best trout fishing in the Sierra.
	Hiking There are literally hundreds of miles of little-used trails within minutes of our Guest House – or just out your door. With hundreds of acres of national forest lands and protected wilderness in any direction, the options are almost endless.
	Wildflowers Summer finds many of our meadows literally overflowing with flowers. We'll tell you where to find peak blooms and when. Guided wildflower walks with expert botanists are also featured at Sorensen's during the season.
	Mountain/road biking For excellent and often challenging mountain biking, dirt roads access many of the region's loveliest valleys. There are many cycling activities throughout the spring and summer like the Death Ride and Alta Alpina's activities.
	History treks Learn about the historic Emigrant Trail on fascinating history hikes with local experts sponsored by Sorensen's. A wonderful experience for all ages and hiking abilities.
	White-water rafting/kayaking The East Fork of the Carson, a short drive from Carson River Guest House, offers exhilarating rides through rugged, rock-walled canyons, May through July (water levels permitting). Our staff will happily make all your reservations and give directions. Check out Sorensen's website for their activities calendar.
