The park features a wide, gentle sledding hill that is routinely machine-groomed, providing safe, consistent sliding terrain with a long, level runout area that keeps young sledders away from road traffic and steep drops. Directly adjacent to the sledding hill, families can set off on flat snowshoe walks along the groomed Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail through snowy evergreen stands. Hyak is especially convenient for parents with babies and toddlers thanks to its heated warming shelter with running water and modern flush restrooms, plenty of paved parking, and easy level walking from car to snow. ## Similar picks in Seattle - [Veterans' Appreciation Days at Northwest Trek Wildlife Park](https://grassyknees.com/seattle/activities/veterans-appreciation-days-at-northwest-trek-wildlife-park--listing-e7d620afd4f716f6c30aafaf) — Wed, Nov 11 (+4 more dates) · 9:30 AM – 3:00 PM · Northwest Trek Wildlife Park, Eatonville · With admission · checked Oct 30.
