This Saturday, July 18, we will be hiking from Snow Flat to Treasure Park. This has been a favorite hike for the Club in past years. It is approximately 2.5 miles round trip, but last year we extended it into Hospital flat and finished the day with 5 miles .
As you enter Snow Flat near the lake, an old Jeep trail marked by a "closed to motor vehicles" sign marks this hike. Follow the road uphill as it lead into the trees. After a quick climb, the road levels off and arrives at a junction 0.4 miles near a campsite. Continue to the left. The road turns south and travels through mixed conifers and towards Treasure Park. Keep and open eye for wild turkeys and deer. They are abundant in this area, but rather elusive.
At 1.2 miles, the trail enters the largest meadow on the mountain, Treasure Park. Make sure to locate the interpretive sign on the east side of the meadow explaining the history of this spot.
We can travel around the meadow and drop over a low rise into Hospital Flat where we can pull up a picnic table for lunch.
We will then return to vehicles by the same route.
Meet-up is at 8AM in the Fairground Parking lot of Highway 191 across from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Remember to bring lots of water, sack lunch and snacks, and sun protection. Temperatures are now pushing up into the high 80s by midday and afternoons.
