Pacheco Canyon Road is a forest service road that closes down seasonally. Once there is enough snow, head out there for a great snowshoeing or cross country skiing trip. If you chose to snowshoe, you can make it down and back the entire way, or as long as you wish. It is recommended if you are cross country skiing, to turn around roughly 3 miles in at the junction up to the Rio en Medio. This is a beginner ski route and is not groomed.
