Listening to the community as we plan for the
A new conservation community is planned.
Royal Gorge owners Todd Foster and Kirk Syme envision this future mountain community as a gateway to the outdoors and a source for wilderness education and recreational activities in the Sierra Nevada.
Royal Gorge will feature four “camps” organized around specific outdoor recreation. Clustering new residences and activities into camps ensures the vast majority of the property will remain untouched. A land trust will protect this open space in perpetuity.
As Donner Summit residents have asked, community planning includes: No golf and no gates, setting aside Van Norden Meadow as open space, an improved entry road intersection to the community, and careful placement of the new camps to preserve the Royal Gorge cross-country ski experience.
Future plans also call for a downhill ski connection for a combined cross-country/downhill ski experience at Ski Camp. To learn more or provide us with your comments, CLICK ‘Future Plans’ or ‘Contact Us’ at right.
