Vermilion Valley Resort (VVR) is nestled in the Sierra Nevada Mountains at the shore of beautiful Edison Lake. It is a classic location for PCT and JMT long distance hikers to resupply and it is known as very hiker friendly. It has been a tradition at VVR to offer the long distance PCT Thru-Hiker the first cold beverage free (cold beer) and for the PCT or JMT hikers two nights free camping in the thruhiker camping area. There is also a huge hiker box where you can find gear and food that you might need.

To get here, you can ride on the ferry across Edison Lake for 20 Dollars oneway. In a dry year, the ferry might not be running. In that case, you have to hike around 6.5 miles along the shore using Bear Ridge Trail or High Sierra Station Train. edisonlake.com
