Snowshoe to the Silver Lake Loop
HikingEasyWinter
Trek through the quiet, snow-dusted pines of Deer Valley on a path that is remarkably beginner-friendly and peaceful.
Itinerary tips
- 1Plan for approximately 60 to 90 minutes to complete the two-mile loop at a steady, scenic pace.
- 2Park at the Deer Valley Silver Lake Lodge garage, which offers easy access to the trailhead near the Sterling Express lift.
- 3Rent snowshoes and poles at the Silver Lake Village rental shop if you do not have your own specialized winter gear.
- 4Carry a physical trail map or download a digital version, as deep snow can sometimes obscure the trail markers through the pines.
- 5Pack a light insulated thermos with a hot beverage to enjoy at the halfway point overlooking the frozen lake.
- 6Wear waterproof hiking boots and gaiters to prevent deep powder from entering your footwear while trekking off-pack.
