Trip

Intermediate Snowshoe - Panorama Point

Paradise area snowshoe to Panorama Point and, if conditions allow, the skyline loop route.

  • Moderate, Moderate/Strenuous
  • Moderate
  • Mileage: 6.0 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 1,600 ft
  • High Point Elevation: 7,000 ft
  • Pace: 1.5 mph, slower on steep sections

The exact route for this trip depends on avalanche conditions. The optimal route goes counterclockwise, out to Mazama Ridge, then north along the ridge.  If conditions are amenable, we can climb all the way up and over the Panorama Point. There are several steep sections, including Pan Face, that require solid conditions for safe travel.  This route is also exposed to the elements and can be windy and cold in the upper stretches.
