bear flag lodge
Sticks
& Stones
Sure, there's more to Bear Flag Lodge than sticks and stones - there's water with 50 cubic feet per second (cfs) flowing past in late summer and as much as 12,000 cfs in the winter. There's also deer, ringtails, dozens of bird species, praying mantises, pollywogs and, once a year, a patch near the river that's a ladybug hatchery. When you get down to it though, Bear Flag Lodge is logs and granite (70-foot Douglas Fir logs from Canada at that). Outside, the Sierra Foothills' signature giant granite boulders provide a perfect base to clamber over, sunbathe on, and jump into the river from.
