After a big snowfall, most of the park's day-hiking trails require snowshoes. However, after a few days of melt, and with continued use, the trails become so well packed and icy that snowshoes are no longer effective to provide traction and stable footing.
For much of the winter, the most popular trails are so icy that steep sections cannot be safely traversed without some sort of additional traction device for your hiking shoes or boots. Mountaineering crampons or other, lighter options which fasten over your winter footwear, like the one pictured here, work well. We recommend wearing these devices throughout the park, especially in parking lots and other paved areas to avoid injuries from slipping and falling.

Description
A shaded trail to escape the summer heat and follows Joe Lott Creek.
The Joe Lott Trailhead starts at Castle Rock Campground and follows the Joe Lott Creek, which has tall old growth trees to provide shade in the summer. Joe Lott Trail #051 is an out-and-back, so you can go as far as you like and turn around. We went 1.5 miles and had to cross the river 3-times. At the third crossing, the creek was too wide to cross without getting wet, due to high runoff, so we turned around.
The Silver King Mine Interpretive Center is the terminus of the trail, which is approximately 6.5 miles from the trailhead, which starts at 6,200 feet in the Castle Rock Campground and finishes at 9,800 feet in elevation located in Sevier Utah, only 40 miles from Beaver Journey KOA.
