A good day outdoors, in spite of light snow and rain conditions.

Due to forecast rain and warm temperatures in the Snoqualmie Pass area -- we toured in the Blewett Pass area and found good conditions.
The hike was easy and the views were spectacular. Nice trip when you just want to get out and enjoy the snow.
We completed five loops on this hike in the Union Bay Natural Area and Laurelhurst including stairways to Lake Washington beach areas. The views were limited by weather conditions and rain was light.
Top roping at Deeping Wall and a run up Rambles.
Low expectations, high rewards
Winter scramble to Sam Hill Peak departing from the Stevens Pass Nordic Center. It was storming on the low lands, but this turned out to be an ideal day in the snow.
Honored Martin Luther King Jr. yesterday in the Columbia River Gorge with our sister club, the Mazamas.
Starting at the Dash Point Highland Park and covering boundary trail, shannon's shin, Hoyrt Road Trail, Switchback, Fern Allley Trail, Outbound Trail and Thames Creek trail with lunch at the beach. Potential loop return using Picnic Point Trail, Rvaen Beach Trail and East Rim Trail. Mileage approximately 5.4
Although it didn't rain from the sky, it DID rain from the trees, making for a rather wet day in the mountains! There was just enough wind to pummel the group with tree ice bombs but we still had a fun day.
The trip was changed from Sam Hill to Windy Knob hoping to avoid rain and to find easier snow to break trail than around the passes.
Nice snowshoe to Lost Lake, follows alongside groomed trails on a forest road.
The hike was a loop route tour of Queen Anne , Centennial and Myrtle Edwards Parks , Seattle Center , and up 3rd Ave. N stairs to the start . There was minimal rain and lots of views on this hike.
