OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES

Just outside your door, a network of hiking trails link to a larger network of adjacent National Park Service trails, perfect for a short walk or a launching point to a longer expedition. A one-mile hike leads to spectacular views of a mountain waterfall along Sourdough Creek. An afternoon hike will take you along the Diablo Lake Trail to Ross Dam. We also offer kayak and canoe access to Diablo Lake and nearby Seattle City Light walk-on ferry access to Ross Lake. Experienced staff naturalists serve as highly qualified teaching guides, providing informal natural history education that adds depth and meaning to the conference experience.

"When I was looking for a location for a family reunion, NCI offered both the setting and the staff for a successful gathering. Among the many highlights of that weekend was the chance to paddle the traditional Salish Dancer and French Voyageur canoes. Diablo Lake with the Colonial Peaks in the background was the ideal location for paddling, drumming and testing the echo quality of the gorge. What a setting to share family times."
