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.

Dress in appropriate gear, Be on time for pick up. Bus makes multiple stops, so plan accordingly. You're guide deserves a tip so take cash

Our guide Avery took my wife and I through Hope Valley. The snow mobiling tour was amazing with breath taking views. Pictures dont do justice. Big shout out to Avery gave excellent advice and knowledge of the area. Will definitely be doing another tour possibly the RZR in the summer.

Avery was a fantastic guide and the experience was amazing. As a first-timer on a snowmobile my anxiety was pretty high but Avery was patient and helpful with explanations that dispelled any concerns I had about operating a snowmobile. I will definitely be doing this again.

Awesome snowmobiling experience! Our guide Avery was super patient and easygoing, especially with anyone who was new. He explained everything clearly, never made us feel rushed, and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. Overall just a great vibe and a really fun day. Would definitely recommend!

This was my first experience snowmobiling. My guide, Avery, did an outstanding job covering safety measures, sled operation and stopping at beautiful venues along the route. I’m already planning a return trip!
