A great spot in the winter! We love to go to Snow Lodge for a great weekend of cross country skiing and geyser gazing under the stars on a clear night. It's great in the summer too, just minus the skiing.

Be sure to take plenty of food, water and bear spray (we often have an extra bear spray you may take above the dryer-please read the instructions-only to be used on a bear!) This hike is beautiful and a local favorite. About 6 miles moderate in difficulty, excellent for views and beauty!
