Enjoy a snowshoe adventure along a ridgeline to the boundary of the Cube Iron-Silcox Roadless Area. This popular access route near Thompson Falls sees little use outside of hunting season, making it a relaxing respite for a winter hike. About 2.5 miles up the Sqaylth-Kwum Creek Trail you’ll cross the namesake creek, a Salish word describing a place where “falling waters” can be heard. Turn around here for a 5-mile out-and-back hike.
