Route 67 is a two lane national forest dirt road that is closed to traffic in winter, at which time the road is available to hikers, snowshoers, cyclists, skiers, horses and snow machines (as they are called around here). This was our first visit here. The temperature was in the mid-20s and the skies were clear. Given the fabulous conditions, there were quite a few others enjoying the day, too, including some number of snowmobiles. I don’t mind them, but if you do, you’re better off coming on a workday.

We snowshoed 3 miles total, up and back, and the groomed road was perfect for snowshoeing. We did not, however, venture off the road and into the forest as the undisturbed snow was deep and fluffy and required too much effort to navigate. The groomed road is also perfect for cross country skiing and we’re going to return in a few days with our skis.
