If strolling through the backcountry with little or no company is a goal, then this route promises to deliver. Naming this route the Manzanita Creek Trail can be a tad deceptive as the path avoids the namesake creek for all but the final stretch of the nearly 5-mile journey to the head of the canyon below Crescent Cliff.

When the sky is clear and the snow is pristine, fortunate snowshoers can revel in the beautiful scenery as they travel the easy, short loop on the level terrain around Manzanita Lake. A prettier sight than a winter view of Lassen Peak across Manzanita Lake after a fresh dusting of snow is hard to imagine.
