Ascent on Kendal Peak Lakes Road/Trail. photo by j brink
We began our snowshoe at 27 degrees and a light snow at the Snow Park entrance on the north side of I-90, service Rd 9090. There was about an inch of new snow on the trail, but the snow along the side was about 1 1/2 feet of powder that even with snowshoes you sank in about in about a foot.
We stopped for a lunch break at about 4100 foot elevation at 3.1 miles. While there, a freezing rain had begun and our poles, packs and clothing had a thin coating of ice. This was our turn around point but it appears we were close to Trail #1344 that goes from the road to the Kendall Peak Lakes. The gain was between 1600 and 1700 feet but made easier due to the grade fo the road
