In winter, sledding is possible on the long slope immediately outside the front door of our cabin. In addition, Dodge Ridge Ski Resort is about a 10 minute drive away.
In summer, there are many nature hikes directly around the property on trails (or through the forest from the backyard if you have a GPS device to guide your way). One of these short hikes is to a creek that is the beginning of the North Fork of the Tuolumne River. There are also much more day hiking trails to drive to all around Pinecrest Lake and if you drive farther up to Donnell Vista, Dardanelle, Kennedy Meadows Resort, and Sonora Pass.
