Carson Pass is located on the south side of Highway 88 at Carson Pass 60 miles east of Jackson in Alpine County. 

Recommended Activities: Cross-country skiing, dog sledding, and snow play. No snowmobiles.

The SNO-PARK program provides winter recreation at locations along the Sierra Nevada. Distinctive brown highway signs located along highways identify the SNO-PARKs. 

Each SNO-PARK provides visitors access to snow-cleared parking lots and sanitation facilities. Snow conditions determine accessibility and opportunities available at each site.

SNO-PARKs are open seasonally between November 1st and May 30th. Visitors are required to display a parking permit for each vehicle parked at a SNO-PARK.
