Granite Chief Porta Potty Donner Summit Snowshed Wall Celebrating its 10 year anniversary of community service, Johnny is back in his favorite location, at the parking base of Snowshed Wall, Donner Summit.

Donner Summit News Flash

The Granite Chief Ski and Mountain Shop outhouse, more affectionately known as “Johnny”, returns for the 10th year at Donner Summit. “Spring scents are in the air, and my aim is to keep it that way”, says Johnny. Residing at the parking base of the popular Snowshed Wall, Johnny has proven to be “spot on”, year after year. With an open door policy, this veteran  services climbers, hikers, trail runners, cyclists, and motorists alike. "It is a diverse group, but a love for the outdoors, and the need for a place to go, seems to be the common denominator". Given its decade of history, just think of the stories Johnny could tell …. Not one to spread chatter, however, Johnny will only say, “it is great helping to keep old highway 49 and Donner Summit clean and beautiful. On top of that, I couldn’t ask for a sweeter location”. Thanks Granite Chief Ski & Mountain Shop for your community contribution!

Grooming & Timeliness

Johnny gets freshened up weekly, but on occasion, may become overwhelmed with popularity. Should you ever find that Johnny would benefit from an added touch-up, please pass the word along to Granite Chief. Thanks, and enjoy Donner Summit.
