Description:
The trip is listed as moderate but it is a good beginning of the season trip for snowshoeing whether you have used snowshoes or not. We will drive up Hyw 58 to Gold Lake snow park cross the highway and start our trip into Gold Lake Shelter 2.5 miles down a road. If you have snow shoes great, if you do not you can rent them at Bergs on 13th Street in Eugene. I use my hiking boots with gaiters and my hiking poles with baskets. If you have never used snow shoes before, pay attention when you rent them to any instructions. When you take them home try them on several times so you are very familiar with how they work. When it is cold and your hands are freezing you will appreciate the time spent in your living room mastering the skill.
