Horseshoe Falls with snow
I was originally headed to Mt. Defiance, but decided against it after seeing the snow up there from I-90. Melakwa Lake was nearby, so I headed up that trail. I made it as far as the end of Hemlock Pass before the snow got too deep to continue without snowshoes. The trail is passable, but wet snow sticks to boots, adding a pound or two to each one, which makes for slow going and gets very tiring.
