The lodge is open year-round but shines in the spring when the vibrant dogwood blossoms coat the trees.
Eleven onsite restaurants provide casual to fine dining often paired with a view.
The annualFlowering Dogwood Touris completely dedicated to the blooms, which are found along the backroads of Dogwood Canyon.

To get there, youll hop in an off-road vehicle and travel along four miles of old logging roads.
Previously, the Flowering Dogwood Tour took place in early April.
