Over the past couple months, travel has been suspended and places closed with the hope to #ComeBacktoTravel soon. States are slowly starting to open, which means we might be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. With states beginning to allow visitors, hotels and attractions are opening to accommodate them. Throughout the month of May, multiple hotels are opening their doors to guests all over the United States. Looking to get away? Check out this list of recent hotel openings.

Although there are extra measures set, Edgewood Tahoe still promises some of its signature communal experiences that have been updated to ensure safety. The Evening S’mores Cart will serve individually wrapped s’mores packages, available for guests to pick up at the front desk and roast outside at the firepit. The restaurants on property will practice social distancing by reducing seating capacity so all groups of guests will be seated six feet apart. Lastly, The Apres Sleep Cart will still serve fresh juices and healthy snacks each morning, but with pre-portioned and sealed juices and snacks.

Cleaning agents come in to clean between each stay and will also clean public spaces and back of house operations, as well as hand sanitizing stations throughout the camp and individual tents. More information on the new safety precautions can be found here. Different sites are opening on different dates to help ensure the best care possible for guests.
