1964 Paradise Airlines Crash Site

[@c.hundley9714]

The bodies were moved to Minden, just at the base of the mountain. They were stored in a building that's very close to the sheriffs office. Long brick building. At least when I lived there. Use to be part of BNC. Thereafter, we called it the morgue. Engineers working above had some real odd things happen. There was probably 20 feet of snow, at least, when it hit.

I just found this video. Thank you for posting. I have an opportunity to visit Reno this year and I was wondering if there is access to the crash site. My father, his cousin & his cousin's wife were on that plane. Very sad day for lots of us.

Yes, you can access the crash site. It's about 9 miles north of South Lake Tahoe near Genoa Peak. My brother-in-law's father was on that plane as well. My sister found out about the location through her geocaching app. It's a bit of a hike to get there, but it was well worth it. I'm so sorry for your loss.

@@srwylie thank you for the added info. I'm going to get that app.

@@srwylie can you give me more details on the location of the site? I am having trouble using the app (old dog syndrome) and am in the area for a few days and would like to try and get up there. Thanks!

@Sandi Cumberland Here's a link to an article about the 50th anniversary of the crash www.tahoedailytribune.com/news/local/relatives-remember-tahoes-worst-plane-crash-50-years-later I don't remember how we found the location. It was almost as if we had stumbled on it. The news articles say that the plane crashed into Genoa Peak, which is north of state route 207. It has been a few years since we were there, and I don't remember exactly how we got there.

@@srwylie Thanks for the update. We found someone here that knows where it is and might be able to get us there.
