We figured out long ago a person could snowshoe just about anywhere skiers went, and the Kendall Ridge and Kendall Peak Lakes area is a great destination close to home for both activities.
You can take an easy snowshoe tour, a cross-country ski trip as challenging as you want to make it, or snowshoe up and snowboard down.
For those reasons the area often is crowded, and you might have to dodge cross-country skiers, snowboarders or snowshoers.
The main access to the ridge is up an old logging road, and those big craters you might see on the way up are where skiers have tumbled
