In Tuolumne County, along Highway 108, snowmobiling is a big attraction. At the end of the plowed portion of Highway 108, 6 mi/9.6 km beyond Strawberry is the Sno-Park, a favorite launching point for snowmobile lovers.
Sno-Parks are parking areas, that are maintained in the winter, so people can park safely and experience their winter activities, such as snowmobiling. In order to use a Sno-Park, you must have permit. A route on the Tuolumne Side is Herring Creek, a 26 mi/41.8 km, round trip, leading out of the Herring Creek road.
The first 8.5 mi/13.7 km, just before the Y that lead to Herring Creek Reservoir are fairly tame. After that, the road makes a 13 mi/21 km loop. Attention is required, because the road passes through some steep slopes, that are very vulnerable to avalanche after fresh snowfall.
You should check with the Forest Service, before deciding to take this route. Another route is Long Barn to Hull Creek, a 10 mile road, starting from Long Barn and leading to Hull Creek and when snow conditions are safe, it can be extremely exhilarating.
Where is your snow-machine? it's about time for action! Turn off your mobile phone, because when your snowmobile calls you, it's only you and the snow. If you try to find the perfect paths, close your eyes and think yourself in Vigla ski center.
You have to leave your place. It's cold outside, you don't want to go, but you have to. Being on board, the noise of the plane reminds you that there is no way back. Although you fly through clouds, your black thoughts make your moves more difficult. Close your eyes and turn cold into a beautiful landscape with pure snow. Your thoughts are trees that cover your favorite paths and the clouds are your magic snowdust. The beauty of the nature, the harmony, the pure love....stop there. You are not playing in 'the little house on the prairie'.
