Soda Springs - California
Soda Springs is celebrating. Founded in 1935, Soda attracted early day adventurers outfitted in laced leather boots with wooden skis. Soda Springs was a popular destination accessed primarily by train.
Much has changed since those early days. Chairlifts have replaced tows and travel is convenient on multi-lane Interstate 80.
Modernization hasn't effected tradition, however. The welcoming small resort spirit and relaxed atmosphere of days past can still be discovered at Soda Springs.
Soda Springs is located just off I-80 at Donner Summit. Exit Soda Springs and follow the signs. Sacramento is just 80 miles, San Francisco 170 miles, and Reno just 48 miles.
