DIRECTIONS
Scenic Highway 88 provides hassle-free travel to Kirkwood from the Greater San Francisco Bay Area, the Central Valley and Lake Tahoe, as well as Reno and the Carson Valley. You'll find the lack of traffic on Highway 88 makes it an excellent alternative to the more congested Highway 50 and Interstate 80 when traveling to and from the Lake Tahoe area, although Kirkwood is accessible from these routes as well. Please find your route below. From several South Lake Tahoe locations you can take advantage of the Kirkwood Shuttle Bus or, you can reserve a bus trip with one of our participating Bay Area and Sacramento bus charters.
