Trip Report    

Basic Snowshoe - Pipe Creek Snowshoe

We went uphill on the road and downhill through the trees.

  • Road suitable for all vehicles

The driving was no problem and the sno-park was limited in space but it was enough for our small group. Plenty of snow coverage on the road and there was a track set into it for the uphill portion. Just past the saddle, we got a view of Diamondhead across the valley and then went off trail to gain the summit highpoint of 4472' for our lunch in dappled sunlight. 

After lunch, the group was more interested in heading down in the trees than in completing the loop (which has no views) so we navigated down toward the road and managed to cut off about 0.5 miles of road. The rest of the trip back to the son-park went pretty quickly. Our total trip time was 3.75hrs.
