A word about our winters: when the fog cloaks the Valley, the ceiling is usually at about 1,700'. We are located at 2,200' - come up and enjoy the sunshine. The snow level usually does not fall below 3,000'. The Columbia Basin sits 400' higher than Sonora & 500' higher than the entrance to Moaning Cavern. This a most unique place - come see us!
