A series of articles will be posted to this site featuring snowshoe routes of the area.   Some of the prerequisites for a good snowshoe route include:

• road access to the high country
• parking at or near the trailhead
• lots of snow (south-facing slopes and lower areas can be hiked)
• routes cant be driven on
• easy-to-follow routes
• field work done to explore and confirm the routes

Vehicle Access to Hull North:

• drive south on the Lac le Jeune Road
• turn onto the Goose Lake Road
• there is parking for 2-3 vehicles at the turn-off 300m down the road
• in slippery or snowy conditions, park back at the Goose Lake Road turnoff and walk down the road for 300m
• the backroad snowshoe route angles off to the southeast (at N50 33.489 W120 25.810)
