On the 4th of July each year, Donner summit sees hundreds of visitors for the annual fireworks. Though it’s a great place to enjoy the show, the days following, it’s common to see trash lining the roads and trials.

Granite Chief supports the outdoor recreational community throughout the area and specifically at the Donner Summit by providing a seasonal porta-potty for all to use. We feel it’s important to keep these areas clean so that everyone can enjoy this beautiful place. Because of this, we brought a team up to Donner to clean the remaining trash left behind after the 4th. We found over 10 lbs of trash at one parking pull off alone! We thank everyone who helps keep our natural areas clean and hope that this influences others to do the same.
