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.

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 somewhere you stay the night and dream about long after you leave.

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 worked all across the Sierra. He runs the build and everything that happens on the ground.
