The weather was lousy and the road was probably treacherous. In other words, the ideal conditions for snow showing. We headed up to the pass and several hundred other families from Seattle had the same idea. There were families pulling sleds, people on snow shoes, cross country skiers, and a few people who just appeared to be lost. The weather was snowy and some times dark.
But everyone showed good attitude and played in the snow.
We hiked through the trees, over meadows, and along the creeks.
Along the way we discovered some construction equipment in the middle of no where and no clear reason why it was ever there. However, it is certainly shut down for the season.
But, for the most part, the time was quiet, the fresh snow was deep
and we walked along enjoying the lack of people and noise. There was a stop in a total white out to enjoy our lunch
And then a pleasant stroll back to the car, almost. We didn’t stop at the car, but headed up Kendal Ridge for about twenty minutes enjoying the day. And then it was on to the pass for a cup of hot chocolate or coffee.
