Basic Snowshoe - Gold Creek Basin
Due to extreme cold temperatures, the trip originally posted for Wenatchee Crest has been changed to Gold Creek Pond. A shorter trip will limit exposure to freezing temps and allow us to get to the cars quickly if anyone shows signs of becoming too cold.

On a clear day, the view from Wenatchee Crest is excellent. We will travel above the forest service road as much as possible as it is more fun to snowshoe off road.
Leader will suggest a meet place and time to enable carpooling in the welcome message. We should aim to be at the trailhead bfore 9 AM. For reference: the drive is 1 1/2 hour from Issaquah. A Sno-park pass is required. If we do not have enough volunteer drivers with season passes, riders will all chip in for a day passes. These can be pruchased online or in North Bend.
