02The Place

Minutes out.

The Western States Trail and the Foresthill Divide are a short drive away, the same dirt the hundred-milers run. Auburn Quarry, the American River, Folsom Lake, and the Mosquito Ridge climb are all close.

Golden hour over the forested ridges around Foresthill

The nearest bed used to be a motel thirty minutes down in Auburn, or the back of your car at the trailhead. Stay here instead, close to all of it, with the recovery waiting when you get back.

2 hours from the Bay Area, 1 hour from Sacramento. 90 minutes from Reno and Tahoe.

The ground

Terrain, geology, and the survey of 1891. The property pinned at Mile 62.

03The Units

Recovery is built in.

Private sauna and cold plunge in every unit. A gear wall for bikes, packs, ropes, boards, and boats. An outdoor rinse so the dirt stays outside. A deck for the first coffee before the sun is up.

In partnership with ELMNTL

01

Gear wall

Bikes, packs, ropes, boards, boats. Racked and ready inside the unit, not stacked by the door.

02

Sauna + cold plunge

Private, in every unit. Not a shared spa room with a sign-up sheet down the hall.

03

Outdoor rinse

Gear-wash hose and a rinse shower outside. The dirt never comes in.

04

Private deck

First light, first coffee, then out. The morning is the whole point.

04The Bathhouse

After the miles.

Recovery is private in every unit. The bathhouse is the social version, big enough for the whole crew, where the long day gets retold.

Outdoor sauna

Six-person cedar sauna with a wood stove and a glass wall to the trees.

Cold plunge

Cold plunge

A cedar-clad cold plunge. Drop in and feel the legs come back.

05The Property

You meet your people here.

An outdoor kitchen and mess area. A workshop and mobility space in a repurposed barn. A loop trail for shakeouts. Everyone who drove up for the same reason, in one place.

Workshop + mobility

A repurposed barn for tuning gear and warming up.

Loop trail

On-property singletrack for shakeouts and warm-downs.

06About

Two people who actually do this built it.

Land right at Mile 62 almost never opens up. It stays in families for decades. Tyler has held this ridge for fifteen years, and he's turning it into a place you can actually stay, not just run past on race day.

We both do this. We know what a long day out here takes out of you, and what you want when you get back, because it's the same thing we want.

YJ Tung

Brand + Marketing

Ultra-runner. Two decades building for outdoor and entertainment brands.

Tyler Mitchell

Construction + Land

Has owned this land for fifteen years and worked all across the Sierra. He runs the build and everything that happens on the ground.
