Non-Motorized Sno-Parks

I’d like to share my love of snowshoeing. Seattle winters can be tough but we are within a reasonable drive of 40 designated sno-park locations. These parks are designed for hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and believe it or not even dog sledding. Washington State manages this program in seven national forests along with state and private forest lands. Cleared parking areas are provided along with grooming of the most popular trials. Extra safety measures need to be considered since you are up in the mountains where weather can change quickly. A sno-park permit is required and can be purchased online. Winter recreation can add a lot to your lifestyle and make our winters pass more quickly and more enjoyably. www.parks.wa.gov
