MOUNT LOWE EXCURSION 2014

On December 6, 2014, Please join us for a journey into the past.

 

 The 119 year old journey will take you to

the Alpine Tavern, a 22-room Swiss Chalet

hospice with a complement of amenities from tennis courts and wading pools, to mule rides.

            The Tavern had all the conveniences of a modern hotel, bell-boys, excellent heating and a cuisine unexcelled. It was a place for one to linger, and many did for weeks, to drink in the pure mountain air and restfulness of these calm heights.

 

Then in 1936 the Tavern disappeared into history

 

 

Your journey will take you along the old railroad route beginning at the gate to the Forest Road (top of Chaney Trail Rd.) to THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, to DAWN STATION, HORSESHOE CURVE, CIRCULAR BRIDGE, GRANITE GATE then to THE TAVERN.

 

            At THE TAVERN there will be Displays, souvenirs and guides to explain what became of the tavern.`

        There will be 1 dollar hot dogs and hot drinks to enjoy while exploring.
