The Mt Baker-Snoqualmie Forest offers guided snowshoe hikes at Stevens Pass & Snoqualmie Pass on weekends. I had been reading about them for a couple of years & advising people to go on them but had never gone on one myself. So when my friends, the Mountainettes, decided to go I just had to sign up.
The day started out cold and shady. We'd be in the trees most of the day. Not like the previous day's snowshoe when we were on the ridge most of the day. But we were excited about a day of sun anyway. Our Rangers, Chuck & Cindy, got us off quickly after a few jokes & introductions. Ranger Chuck was in the lead and would stop every now & then to point out a view or some trace of life in a winter forest. We talked about winter travel safety and history. We took photos, told stories and laughed.
By the end of the day we were happy, tired, and ready to go again.
