Cherry Gap Winter Trailhead

Cherry Gap trailhead is an undeveloped staging area with no facilities. The staging area is a popular snow play area, cross country ski access, and is located 3 miles east of Kings Canyon Visitor Center. The trailhead provides access to Hoist Ridge to the west and the difficult Park Ridge/Huckleberry roads to the east. When General's Highway is closed, this trailhead provides the only access to Quail Flat & Big Meadows via Powerline Road and Ten Mile Road. Review the winter OSV map for details.…
