Segelsen Ridge - December 23, 2009

Fresh pure snow, a peaceful quietness, and dramatic clouds and lighting made for a magical experience just two days before Christmas. If we weren't in the mood for the holidays before the hike we certainly were afterward.

Huntoon Point - December 2, 2009

A last minute decision to switch destinations, to take advantage of warm temperatures and clear skies, was a good one. Huntoon point is always magical and everybody had a great day. An awesome first snowshoe hike of the season.John pauses at Austen Pass
