Private mining claims exist here so remember to respect all private property. Snowmobiling along Deer Creek bring you to an open area near timberline. Here, the view toward a massive cliff of snow, sculpted by the wind and backlit by the sun highlights the tour. The area provides a variety of terrain and scenery for the snowmobiler. This area is shared with cross country skiers and you are asked to exercise caution and courtesy while snowmobiling in the Deer Creek drainage.
