Snow Mobile in the Sierra Nevada<\/h1>\n

\"snow\"Hidden well above Fresno deep in the Sierra National Forest<\/a>, in between Yosemite & Kings Canyon, is the area of Lakeshore<\/a><\/b>, also known as Huntington Lake<\/a>. Secluded, remote & largely undeveloped wilderness offers much to the sport of cross country skiing or snow-mobiling. With hundreds of miles of groomed back country snow trails, it easy to get away from it all.<\/p>\n

\"snowmobile<\/a>Rancheria Enterprises is a short walk from Lakeshore Resort & rents snowmobiles by the day or half day. Most machines are tandem, so you can ride 2 people & split the cost. NOTE: Maximum weight per machine = 300lbs.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"snowmo\"Moderate driving distance from Bay Area or Los Angeles & fairly easy to get to, depending on weather (of course). Saloon and mountain dinner restaurant at the old lodge, newer lake view condos up on the hill and Sierra Summit Ski Resort. Not bad for the middle of nowhere in the Sierras.<\/p>\n

Central\u00a0Sierra Nevada Mountains get a fair amount of deep snow most winters.<\/strong> Since there is a ski resort locate back here, HWY 168 is open year round; with very limited access to the backcountry. \"NFS\"Mono Hot Springs Resort<\/a> may be open, but double check before you plan your trip. Lakes Edison & Florence are usually inaccessible for more than half the year.<\/p>\n
