About this site
Cherry Gap trailhead is an undeveloped staging area with no facilities. The staging area is a popular snow play area, cross country ski access, and is located 3 miles east of Kings Canyon Visitor Center. The trailhead provides access to Hoist Ridge to the west and the difficult Park Ridge/Huckleberry roads to the east.
When General's Highway is closed, this trailhead provides the only access to Quail Flat & Big Meadows via Powerline Road and Ten Mile Road. Review the winter OSV map for details. All snowmobiles are required to be registered with the state and have a current "Green Sticker" affixed to the vehicle.
Snowmobiling is not allowed in Wilderness Areas or on trails designated for cross-country skiing. All snowmobile routes & trails are open to cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and snow play.
