Snow shoes and skis at White Cloud
Looking for a great location to do some snow shoeing or some cross country skiing? Well take a short drive up Highway 20 from Nevada City to the White Cloud day use and camping area (part of the Tahoe National Forest) where the snow is thick on the ground.
The campsite is closed for the season which means that all the loops are essentially snow covered trails ideal for cross country snow sports. Other trails lead off from the campsite and the area is crossed by a powerline that some people have followed to make a winter trail.
For the less adventurous there’s plenty of snow close to the parking area allowing snowmen and igloos to be constructed, and there are some gentle slopes that can be used for snow saucers and plastic sledges!
