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.
Conditioning day hike with Kitsap Basic climbing class and others.
With all the deep new snow, travel was slow, grinding to a near halt once we were sinking well past our waist and still had 1400 feet to go.
Foiled by winter storm, we still found a good day out!
Great destination for a high avalanche danger day.
Weather was NOT a problem. The mother of all traffic jams on 410 WAS a problem. Diverted from original destination due to being stuck in stop and go traffic from Enumclaw to Greenwater and beyond.
We completed a 26 stairway historical loop hike on Queen Anne . Rain was in the forecast , and only at the hike start did we experience it . The views were great of downtown Seattle , Puget Sound , and Magnolia.
Canceled due to conditions
We took the opportunity of forecast strong winds to go out and paddle in rough conditions.
You'd think we would know better than to venture out into a winter storm. But at least the Falls were fantastic.
A hike that had a bit of everything - from rain, to sleet, to snow, to fog - the moon finally peeked out at us once we reached the top of Poo Poo Point's southern lookout, where we found fresh snow aplenty.
