Snowy trails along highway 20? Iron/Cone?
Posted: December 2nd, 2017, 3:40 pm
Hi,
Thinking about finding some snow to hike around in but since forest roads are starting to close and/or get dicey, I was looking at the highway 20 corridor, specifically at the Iron Mountain/Cone Peak complex. I've never been, so:
- is this a reasonable target in winter conditions, and if so,
- is there a route that would work best as a short or moderate hike or snowshoe?
I couldn't find too much about winter trips on these trails. Thanks!
edit: Just found jessbee's report (viewtopic.php?t=22872) but any additional notes are welcome
