Ski or Snowshoe Jones Pass

02/21/16

- Get there early to avoid the crowds. We left at 5:30am and arrived at 6:30am ready to hike. By the time we got back down from the hike, the parking lot was full of vehicles. - Check the SnowTel.gov report for a good judgement of whether snowshoes are needed. - We ended up renting snowshoes just to be safe from REI for $25 a person with poles. Not a bad deal at all (must be a member for this option.) - The snow-cats take skiers up often, so the snow does become quite packed on the road. We didn't venture beyond the top, but it offered a great view. - Bring food/water for the hike. It gets steep at some parts and you'll exhaust some calories.
