DRIVING
For directions from where ever your originating destination, see below. Using a navigation system? Kirkwood Mountain Resort's physical address is 1501 Kirkwood Meadows Drive, Kirkwood, CA 95646.
Please note that Mormon Emigrant Trail is closed during the winter months... This road will likely pop up as the fastest route on your system, so make sure to select an alternate option! Also, if your navigation system delivers directions including the use of Shake Ridge Road or Fiddletown Road, select an alternate route. These roads are both very narrow, curvy, and steep - in some areas they have limited or no snow removal and poor cellular service in event of emergencies.
