Activity: Hike/Snowshoe Donut Falls - 3.2 miles round trip (winter with gate closed - 0.5 mile paved road, 0.25 mi dirt/snow road to summer trailhead noted by bathroom), 1.5 miles round trip (summer - trail starts south of bathrooms, follow trail signs through forest. The gorge before the falls has high danger of rock fall or avalanche. Best with donuts at the falls :) Bathroom at the parking lot. Snowed and lightning storm once we were up at the falls. Too much snow and recent slides in the gorge to attempt entering the falls. 4 inches of snow, so just hiked it - no snowshoes.

Gear: Snowshoes/micro spikes (weather permitting), waterproof boots, waterproof pants, long sleeve shirt, long sleeve fleece, light waterproof jacket, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, camelback or regular back pack, 1-2 Liters water, 3-4 snacks
