Description:

Snowshoe from Maxwell Snow Park to North Shelter. Roughly a 6 mile route via the Mt. View Loop Trail. You need to be in shape for this - there are many trail junctions and its important we stay together at a medium-moderate pace. The weather is unpredictable, so trip will reschedule or offer a different option if the conditions warrant it. Participants are limited to 12, but will be reduced if there aren't enough drivers. Drivers need a snow park permit (REI, Bergs, Bi-Mart) vehicles should be AWD and/or carry chains.

Trip Report

What a way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! We were a small but mighty group of two, and we’re greeted with spectacular weather, and plenty of snow. And surrounded by endless very green trees. .Couldn’t asked for a better way to spend the day.
