Snow Bunny
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Snow Bunny is a small snow play area located at in Mount Hood National Forest on the south face of Mount Hood in Oregon, USA, about 65 miles (103 km) east of Portland. Inner tubing, tobogganing and other sliding sports are on a maintained 20–30 foot hill of snow, popular with children and young families.
Snow Bunny is also a popular trailhead for cross country skiers (nordic skiing), snowshoers and snowmobilers. It is located along the Mount Hood Scenic Byway, about 2 miles (3 km) east of Government Camp on U.S. Route 26, near the junction with the Trillium Lake road (NFS 2656) and a small forest road[1] which connects to Timberline Highway. Neither forest road is plowed making them popular winter sports choices.
Inner tubing and other sliding is usually possible from Thanksgiving through Spring Break. The concession operates winter weekends and most school holidays. When operating, no personal sliding equipment is permitted. The fee covers unlimited day use.[2] A Sno-Park permit[3] is required to park.[4]
