Part here are travel the last 3 miles to the Ross Creek Cedars on foot.
Hike Description:This is our annual snowshoe to the great Ross Creek Cedars for lunch. It is a moderate hike from the parking area to the cedars with about 8 miles roundtrip and slight elevation as we snowshoe up the road. We will stop for views, photos, snacks and to enjoy this beautiful area as we move along. Plan on meeting at the parking lot on time and pack for a full day with snacks, lunch and water. Also something to sit on as we picnic on the snow amongst the cedars. Will meet at the trailhead at 9:30am PT (10:30am MT).
