Upcoming Events
Overnight at the Donner Pass Summit Tunnels
Join us for a unique overnight adventure as we journey into the historic Donner Pass Tunnels. Carved through the Sierra Nevada mountains in the 1860s by Chinese laborers, these massive granite tunnels once sheltered the first transcontinental trains from snow. Today, they stand as awe-inspiring monuments to human grit and engineering, stretching for miles through mountain rock and offering incredible views of Donner Lake and the surrounding peaks.
We’ll explore sections of the tunnels, experience their dramatic scale, and reflect on both the history and the beauty of the Sierras. Afterward, we’ll set up camp inside the tunnels and spend the night. The hike is flat over easy terrain, with about a 100 yard scramble from the parking lot. Expect cooler temperatures at night.
Whether you’re drawn by the history, the adventure, or the community, this trip is for you. Mark your calendars, and be part of a journey that blends Christian fellowship with historical exploration.

Snow Cave Adventure!
- When: Jan 29 – 31. You’re welcome to come for either or both nights.
- What: Dig a cave in the snow and spend the night. That’s all.
- Where: Across from the Boreal Ski Resort on Hwy 80.
- Who: All ages and sexes are welcome.
Difficulty: This is an intermediate level adventure, and basic backpacking gear and fitness is assumed.
If you’ve never done something like this before, don’t be intimidated by the idea that you need a lot of experience or expensive gear. While the risks are real, if you use your head and what you have on hand, you’ll do just fine and have a blast.
Alternatively, feel free to come for the day, play in the snow, and lend a helping hand.
There will be a meeting January 17, 6:00 pm, to discuss details, tactics, and gear. Please RSVP.
