Hyak is a state park trailhead that is a great snow activities destination in the winter. Unfortunately, parking at Hyak does necessitate either a seasonal snopark permit with groomed trails sticker or a day snopark pass and Discover Pass.

Luckily for me, some friends were planning to snowshoe/ski at Hyak. I hitched a ride and we had a lot of fun. The trails actually were not yet groomed, but our small group leapfrogged with some other groups and took turns breaking trail.
