Located in the Cascade Range, Mount Bailey, the rounded shield volcano offers great slopes and snow, attracting all kinds of winter sport fans.
The elevation can reach up to 8363 ft/2549 m. It is really worth snowmobiling to the top of the mountain, as you shouldn’t miss the spectacular view of the landscape.
There are snowmobile tracks making it a fun ride, starting from the W Diamond Lake Hwy, continuing into the woods to ascend the Southeast Ridge and then reaching Bailey’s summit. Bare in mind that in winter, the weather conditions on this mountain are unpredictable and an avalanche can easily be produced, so be well informed and prepared even for such an event, before packing your bags.
Surely you can find lodging nearby, but if you want a more primitive experience, maybe you should try Hemlock Butte Ski Cabin, not far from the spot. However you might need to make reservations first.
