Mt. Shuksan, as seen from just above Austin Pass. Saturday was a terrific day for a snowshoe. Suza, Domino, and I hit up Artist Point. We certainly weren’t the only folks with this wise idea, but the lack of solitude was easily made up with jaw dropping views. Big sky and bright snow clad peaks of the Northern Cascades shined. Baker too was showing off everything she’s got.
The back side of the Central Cascades, WA - as seen here looking West from the Wenactchee Crest trail. Spent a sunny Sunday in the snow. It was a delightful day for a romp with snowshoes. Came across several game tracks, a coyote carcass, and spotted a bald eagle cruising high above the Swuak Creek basin. Views to the south were equally impressive with glances of Rainier and Adams in the distant horizon. Lunch included a mighty fine winter warmer; spicy hot chocolate with bourbon. Yum.
