NORTH FORK SNOWSHOE

DESCRIPTION:  Enjoy a Mirror Lake Highway Snowshoe Adventure.   We went counter-clockwise.  Park at the North Fork Trailhead in the car parking lot.   The trail begins on the north side of the Mirror Lake Highway.   This is a well maintained trail, with blue markers on trees.  When you come to a log fence, the trail heads west.   If you take the trail to the east you'll end up at a lake.   When you get back to the highway, cross the road, cut over to the cross country ski trail, turn left.   You'll cross a bridge.
















RATINGS: Moderate
MILEAGE: 3.5 miles
FEE: $6 per vehicle or use your National Recreation Pass on a rear view mirror hanger.  Winter trail maps available at the ranger booth.
There is a self pay at the trailhead too.
HIKE TIME: Allow 3 hours to enjoy the loop.
ELEVATION GAIN: 330'
RESTROOM:   You'll find one down the hill at the lower snowmobile parking lot.
DIRECTIONS: From Kamas, Utah drive east on the Mirror Lake Highway SR 150.
Turn right into the North Fork parking area for cars.




GOD GAVE US A GREAT ADVENTURE
