Details

Hiking or cross-country skiing can be a great way to get outside and enjoy the fresh air and gorgeous Mount Shasta views. Three common areas are above the gate on Everitt Memorial Highway towards Old Ski Bowl, Bunny Flat to Horse Camp and the roads (cross-country ski trails) of Sand Flat. The trail is packed with snow mixed with icy spots. Off-trail snow surfaces are variable. Poles are recommended as travel may be slick. Just a friendly reminder, Christmas tree cutting is not permitted near Bunny nor Sand Flats. See the links below for more information.
