Glen Alpine Springs trailhead

A mile up the trail is 'The Historical Preservation of Glen Alpine Springs'.

Glen Alpine Springs was one of Tahoe's first resorts and was founded by Nathan Gilmore in 1863.

6 out of the 8 buildings on the property were designed and built by the famous architect Bernard Maybeck in the 1920's.

Glen Alpine Springs was also visited by John Muir in 1890 and 1892.

The Historical Preservation of Glen Alpine Springs is managed by its board of directors and is solely funded by donations.
