Follow Lick Creek Road past Lake Fork campground. As you drive along this area observe the 800 foot dome of granite known as Slick Rock on the left. This is a favorite scramble for rock climbers. To get onto the Snowslide trail it is necessary to ford Lake Fork so early spring is not recommended due to high water. The trail to Snowslide Lake is rugged, steep and rocky. It passes through brush, aspen groves and both dry and wet stream crossings. Great granite walls surround part of the lake. Looking towards Lick Creek Road you get the feeling that the lake is perched on the edge the earth. There are several nice camping spots around the lake. Starting elevation at the trailhead is 5910' with the lake at 7175'. If you hike over the pass to Maki Lake the pass elevation is 7890'. (Trail Difficulty - Moderate)
