My niece said, “I have a brand new set of snow shoes and I want a hard hike to test them out.” It was music to my ears.
Check out the new EVO’s on her feet. They are what all of the stylish people wear snow shoeing. We were pleasantly surprised by what a beautiful day it turned out to be. The snow was packed hard and easy to walk on, though a little noisy. We headed up the gap between Mount Hyak and the Snoqualmie Central ski runs and dropped over the ridge down to Rockdale lake.
McClellan and Granite Peak in the distance, plus a gentle snow field leading down to Rockdale Lake. Below is Mary hiking along the edge of Rockdale Lake. Somewhere close use to be the old Rockdale station where the ski trains would let people of to ski the Milwaukee Bowl.
We then headed back up to the top of the ridge where we got a great view east. Ask Mary the names of the peaks. She knows them now. We dropped down to Hyak Lake
where we saw an unusual track that went out into the middle of the lake.
We guessed missing cross country skier, but I liked Molly’s guess. She said otter. And then we headed back to the car, though we did catch some great afternoon light with the mist rising off of the snow.
