Lovely solitude on a sometimes very popular trail, but caution required.
A short snowshoe trip in at times dense fog and light falling snow
Beautiful day for Old up and New down for Mailbox Peak. Compact snow & ice on top - bring those microspikes.

Log crossing Nisqually River, no snowshoes necessary.
Great winter scramble up Mt. Ellinor on a gorgeous day. Snow conditions were good early in the day and the couloir was fairly easy to navigate.
a fantastic XC ski outing - to windy pass & an add on excursion around windy acres
Fun snowshoe trip to Meany Lodge for a delicious lunch.
Windy and cold, but a beautiful day on a very moderate route to the highest summit in the Northern Yatsugatake cluter. Great snow conditions, and a winter-season mountain hut for hot ramen and coffee on the way down.
Stunning views on a tempestuous and very strenuous traverse (5000’ gain/15 miles, with an incoming winter storm adding to the drama). Side hill snowshoe travel was complicated by challenging ‘snow over ice’ conditions.
A good workout in the rain on this short, but steep trail.
Great group of new and experienced snowshoers on good snowpack. We had views and sunny skies for lunch.
A very nice winter paddle with beautiful scenery, good conditions and great company! Photo credit: Robert Cooper
A spectacularly clear, albeit cold, day for our four hour 5 minute, 8.3 nm paddle from English Boom to Stanwood and back on the morning high tide. Spectacular views of Baker, the North Cascades, and the Olympics, along with many flocks of trumpeter swans along north end of West Pass.
