Snowshoeing Mount St. Helens

On Thursday evening Emma's mom Suzan came to visit us for a few days. We had planned ahead and reserved some snowshoes from REI for the weekend and head out to find some snow. We didn't have a good idea where to go or if where we were going had much snow or open roads to travel on.

We found a few Sno-parks on a road up to Mount St. Helens and so we headed out to see what we could find.

The road was a little tore up from the recent cold weather we had but we found a spot at the end of a road that they pretty much decided to stop plowing. It wasn't much of a trail and really just a road that was being used by snowplows and cross country skiers. We took our time, stopped and had lunch part way through the hike and headed back the way we came. It was a good workout and the weather couldn't have been any better. We ended up peeling off layers that we thought we needed since it was 28 when we left the house in the morning.
