100 Years of Hutchinson History


Travel is about more than checking destinations off your list. It’s about joining a long legacy of people who have experienced, loved, and stewarded places throughout time. In Donner Pass, sits Hutchinson Lodge. A place where the past and the present coexist.


Built by Lincoln and James Hutchinson, and their friends, in the summers of 1924 and 1925, the Lodge served as a winter and summer base for their mountain adventures. Sierra Club members and volunteers built the larger Clair Tappaan Lodge right next door, so when, in 1955, the aging Hutchinson group decided it was time to offload the property, they decided Sierra Club was a natural fit. Under Sierra Club’s management, Hutchinson Lodge has continued to welcome skiers, hikers, and all outdoor enthusiasts for decades.


Hutchinson Lodge is a living time capsule. As you enter the Lodge, it feels a bit like stepping back through time. Windows with shutters that could be original, soaring wood beams, and two wood-burning stoves to warm the space. Alongside the historic features, exists modern comforts such as cozy lounge spaces, a full kitchen, and even a sauna to warm up after a long day on the slopes.

Sierra Foothills Living put it beautifully:


“Walking into Hutchinson Lodge is akin to opening a riveting novel filled with tales of pioneers, adventurers, and families seeking respite from their journeys. The very walls of the lodge seem to resonate with stories from times long past. But what’s even more compelling is the lodge’s resilience to stand tall, with its charisma intact, through the changing times.”

VISIT SIERRA CLUB'S LODGES AND BACKCOUNTRY HUTS


Leader Feature: Annie RoesslerWhen Annie Roessler laced up her boots for her first Sierra Club Outing, she wasn’t a seasoned backpacker. Growing up in Ohio, wilderness trips weren’t part of her childhood. But Sierra Club opened that door, giving her the confidence and skills to explore wild places, and inspiring her to do the same for others.


For Annie, the magic of the outdoors is in the moments of perspective, like standing at an alpine lake. The experience of peering, daunted, up at a distant ridge, and later standing on that ridge, looking back at the campsite far below. Those humbling views remind her, and her participants, of just how far they’ve come. But the highlights of leading go beyond the scenery. On one Yosemite trip, she met a few fellow participants ahead of time, traveling and rooming together before the journey began. She ended up sharing a tent with one of them on the trip, and now, years later, they’re still friends!


That spirit of connection is what Annie believes sets National Outings apart. “You can sign up solo and leave with new friends,” she says. She loves that trips empower participants to get hands-on, whether helping cook meals or learning to navigate routes on a map. Those experiences build skills as well as confidence, and Sierra Club’s reputation for stewardship adds a sense of pride. “People we pass on the trail are always curious and excited to hear we’re with Sierra Club,” she says. “We’re known for our Leave No Trace values and trail etiquette. We’re good ambassadors.”


And sometimes, the trips deliver moments of serendipity. On one outing, a participant who was also a yoga teacher began leading sunrise sessions. One morning, as the group lay in savasana, a deer wandered silently through the circle. No one noticed until later, when other campers recounted the scene. Whether it’s chance encounters with wildlife or the simple joy of hearing new friends giggling in a shared tent, Annie sees these experiences as reminders of what makes Outings special: discovery, connection, and a sense of belonging in the wild.
