Snowshoeing Reports


We LOVED snowshoeing!!! We went 5 miles thru powder. Because it was powder, one of us had to plow the trail which was WAY more work then walking thru an existing trail. Drew took his turn plowing but Gracie did not....5 miles is a long way to go for a 6 year old. Daisy did great. Her booties came off a couple times but we found them right away. As you can see she carried her own pack which was filled with water and dog snacks.

It was 2 1/2 miles up hill and then all the way back was down hill. The weather was varied with some sun, snow, hail and fog. After we returned to the car, there was a major snow storm. We made it back in the nick of time, although we were prepared for bad weather if we got caught in it. Two other parties came up the mountain behind us so it was nice to go back down the trail they had walked over. It was nice and packed.
