Mowich Lake

We went snowshoeing on the Mowich Lake Rd. I've wanted to go skiing there for a long time but had new snowhoes we had to try out. It was raining when we left home and I was afraid we would not be high enough to leave the rain but we went anyway. Road conditions to the parking Lot at Paul Peak trailhead where the road is closed were good. Icy parking lot, and lots of rain to start with, but about a mile into it the rain turned into snow and the road was much easier to snowshoe - not so crusty and bumpy. It was beautiful, and snowed most of the time we were snowshoeing but did occasionally stop. WE didn't hike all the way to the lake unfortunately, but it was fun anyway. Once past the dirty snow and rain it was really enjoyable. However, we came back to the rain on the way back to the car and were quite wet by the time we were ready to leave. There were only about 4 cars there when we arrived and a few more came before we left, so it was quite peaceful. Next time I go back I am going to ski tho to the lake - it looked very inviting to come down the road!
