Be Aware Of: Snow on trail; Road to trailhead inaccessible

FS road a mile short of the trailhead

Heavy snow on the roadway about a mile short of the trail head. Little to no snow in the woods alongside the road. Snow is wet and soft, so I would recommend Snowshoes to walk the last mile of FS Road #4020. Not for kids at this point.

No snow cover in the trees along the roadway

Looking for warm, dry hiking with stunning views and a post-hike swim? Climb to the top of Steamboat Rock and ramble the butte top for dramatic views of Banks Lake and coulee country. Desert wildflowers and camping options sweeten the deal.
