Camas Road Gate Parking
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
No elevation data on file for this trail.
Parking at the Camas Road Gate is only allowed during the winter months. From here, skiers and snowshoers can access a variety of trails. Trails that can be reached from this parking area are: Lower McDonald Creek, 2-3 miles roundtrip. The trail begins just south of the McDonald Creek Bridge. The gentle terrain along lower McDonald Creek provides easy skiing through the forest with side trips along the creek. Rocky Point, 6 miles roundtrip. The trail winds down a short hill but the route is fairly level for the most part. The forest opens as you approach Rocky Point where there are views up and down Lake McDonald. McGee Meadow, 11.5 miles roundtrip. The meadows can be reached via Camas Road and the Inside North Fork Road and is a nice loop, especially in winter when the roads are closed to cars but can be snowshoed or skied.

Forest and Fire Nature Trail Fire Ecology
~15 min drive
This trail is a great place to explore a post-fire environment. Any disturbance—whether that’s a fire, an avalanche, a landslide, or a pest outbreak—resets the ecological clock. The mature trees die, opening the canopy to light and making way for new species to take hold. Grad…
