The snow gets really deep up on Mt. Fanny which is surprising when you look at how little snow there is usually on the slopes above Cove. The parking is a bit tricky but you can make a run up the road above Cove to Moss Springs and then some more climbing gets you to where the good snowpack is to boondock a little and cruise around to the towers. The highlights are a view into the Wallowas and nice views of the valley from the summit. If you a are a snowmobiler, one problem is that snowcats often go up to the television towers for maintenance, leaving track ruts. Also, it is a popular road for local wheelers to drive up as far as they can, which is usually quite high on the switchbacks.
There are a few places to play, mainly in including some difficult hillclimbs above Moss Springs.
