Thank you everyone who participated in the 2025 Donner Party Hike events. Some of the comments from this year’s participants:
The guide and support team did a great job in managing all aspects of the hiking-history experience
YES! It was awesome! Lovely sights, nice stories, great company, great views, impressive rocky landscape, interesting stories. Food was good too.
Guides love their subjects. Organized, very well. Lunch is delicious.
Great hike and hike leaders! Beautiful weather. Good insight into the history of the land and the people who have live here. They kept our group together and safe.
The historical information was great. Thank you for listening to our suggestions last year!
The people were awesome. Really helped us to understand the history.
Some press we received for the 2025 Event (History is Alive on Donner Party Hikes); will open in a new tab or window.
Our 2026 dates will be determined this fall, we will make an appropriate update as soon as the dates are finalized. Saturday we will have our various hikes. If you want more detailed information about the Donner Party, the Sunday Tour at Alder Creek and the Donner Memorial State Park will be of interest to you.
The website will be open for purchasing tickets on April 1, 2026. So put an event in your calendar to get tickets and we’ll see you in 2026.
