Getting into Hyalite Canyon

Submitted by daveyk on Tue, 02/22/2005 - 15:31
I will be out in Hyalite Canyon climbing for 4 days in March. I rented the Window Rock Cabin while I was there and was wondering if renting a snowmobile would be worth it or if we should attempt to drive our Subaru up the road. I am willing to rent a snowmobile if I can end up getting a whole bunch more climbing in, since I would rather not waste half of my trip skiing around in circles. If you do recommend renting a snowmobile, who would you reccomend renting it from? Any route recomendations from the 3-5+ categories that are close to the cabin would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The way the road has been this season, I can't see you really needing one (a snow machine). Of course it would make the trip to dribbles and more distant areas a little faster... but from the parkinglot, those hikes aren't too too long. If you want to spend less time hiking, and more time climbing a snowmobile might be the ticket. If i was you, i wouldn't rent one...
