I enjoyed the snow here as it's more powdery than the East side of the Cascades. Unfortunately, the trail was quite inaccessible. We were only able to enjoy the nearest portions of it. The snow slides & snowball bunkers that were there provided a fair amount of enjoyment for approximately an hour.
We went in search of a nice place to play in the snow. It is more of a turn-off of the road with a trailhead, but there's a nice big flat area for making a snowman. Gentle hill slopes down to the trailhead. No sound of snowmobiles. No restrooms or staff on site.
Great place, it was not easy for me with 18 wheels but it was fun, so if this place is on earth I can’t imagine heaven! Lovely, and can not describe with words! Amazing, fantastic.....
My sister and I took our children up here to play in the snow. I have bad back problems so we didn't get to hike far. However, the snow was deep and powder, so the boys got to have a lot of fun. And the view from this location is absolutely breath taking! Absolutely a place I recommend taking your children, especially if they aren't used to the snow.
