lodge coffee

I was struck by how very, very good the coffee was in Tamarack Lodge - fresh, strong, flavorful and blessed with the power to a heal any headache, altitude sickness or other malady. I was also struck by how well Mrs' outfit went with the wintery, lodgey atmosphere.

evening in the lodge

Choose your cozy. The lobby was cozy but quite warm and dry, due to stove and fireplace. The room was cooler and cozy. They both worked for me at different times.

The Lakefront 2026

The soup du jour was cucumber and as a green soup enthusiast I approved. Gotta love this restaurant with dining so fine that it's almost too fine, but the convenience of the location within Tamarack Lodge is unsurpassed after a couple days of driving.

We don't often have mulled wine, but when we do, it's at Tamarack Lodge 😁

Lake Mary Road

It's always nice, upon arriving, to go for a stroll on Lake Mary Road and check out the snow conditions. Overall it was an invigorating stroll in the crisp mountain air.

Tamarack cabins & trails

Wandering out and about the Tamarack cabins and trails, the snow drifts were still pretty high. The trails in this area - as always - were a bit confusing.

Twin Lakes 2026

A quick stroll around Twin Lakes showed that the ice was very much melting. Glad we came when we did so as to catch the tail end of the snow in sunny and relatively warm conditions.
