Big Butte Road Trail - No. 4304

This snow trail offers fabulous views of the Menatchee drainage, the Wallowas in Oregon, and the Seven Devils in Idaho. After snow storms, the trail drifts from snow blowing up from the Menatchee drainage, making passage difficult until the trail is broke open by the snow groomer. This trail connects with the Cloverland Trail which lends access to the central part of the District and the Sno-Shelter at Misery Junction.

No wheeled traffic allowed on groomed trail.

Sno-Park parking permit required.

This trail is groomed single width for snowmobilers, cross-country skiers, and other winterecreationists. The trail follows along the ridge top from the Wenatchee/Big Butte Junction to the Forest boundary by Big Butte.
