Path (blue).
A 0.7-mile ground trail on Snow Mountain, this is the short outing that gets you onto the mountain without burning half the day. The blue-marked path keeps things simple—no rock scrambles, no route-finding drama, just steady hiking on dirt. It's the move when you want elevation and views but only have an hour or two to spare.
