Two members of the Great Waters Group, Bill Baurecht and Helen Bannan-Baurecht, lead Sierra Club national outings in California and Nevada. This summer they will lead and assist in two outings that may interest you if you’d like to vacation with your children or grandchildren in the Sierras near Lake Tahoe. These lodge outings are based at Sierra Club’s Clair Tappaan Lodge near Donner Pass.
