Overview
Route 63 in Snowshoe Routes Washington, 3rd Edition.
Another long day in the mountains, hooray!! We'll start at Hyak Sno-park at 8AM (which will still feel early thanks to DST) and follow the road south and then west to Windy Pass. From there we'll cut east and ascend to the summit of Catherine. We may do lunch there or perhaps back at Windy Pass on the way down.
