The Annette Lake Sno-Park offers visitors access to multiple winter outdoor activities, along with a large plowed parking lot, toilet and educational resources.
From the Sno-Park, visitors have easy access to the Asahel Curtis Nature Loop, a short half-mile loop good for a snowy stroll through the forest. Visitors can also snowshoe to the Palouse to Cascade Trail.
Note: Be aware that while it is possible to hike the trail to Annette Lake from here, it crosses several avalanche chutes and is considered dangerous in the wintertime.
Don't forget your Sno-Park pass — you'll need one from December 1 through March 31, possibly earlier or later depending on what the snowy season looks like. Outside of this window, you'll need a Northwest Forest Pass to park at the trailhead.
