Hiking the Big East Fork Trail in Snow

Thumbnails | Next >>

The sheltered valley of the Big East Fork makes this a great hike even in winter. Be prepared, however - the trail is very slippery and ice slabs form along parts of it. One slip, and you could end up injured or doused in hypothermia-inducing water far from help!
