Waldo Lake Sno-Park

This site is fairly popular with snowmobile enthusiasts, but parking is limited. Skiers may want to use the Gold Lake Sno-park [http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/willamette/recreation/recarea/?recid=4679] instead and access Waldo Lake Road by skiing up Gold Lake Road to Gold Lake Trail. Two miles up Gold Lake Trail, Fuji Mountain Trail leads west to Waldo Lake Road. Waldo Lake Road is a shared snowmobile/ski route, but snowmobiles are not permitted on other nordic trails in this area. A fit and well-prepared skier may choose to travel approximately 8 miles out the road to the Betty Lake Trail, the Twins and the South Waldo Shelter [http://www.fs.usda.gov/detailfull/willamette/?cid=stelprdb5109521&width=full] (three-sided with a wood stove and wooden bed.)   Know Before You Go in Winter [http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/willamette/?cid=stelprdb5108580]: Tips on how to plan ahead and prepare for your trip to ensure the best possible time for you and others who will be sharing the snow with you.
